A Booke of Days: A Journal of the Crusade
I am thinking about buying this book, but I wanted to do some research on it first. However I looked online to see if I could find a timeline of the events it covers, but I found nothing. Has anyone here read it? I even looked for a Wikipedia article on it but I couldn't find anything. Any information about the book would be highly appreciated.

 * The novel is set during the First Crusade, beginning in 1096. There are plenty of readers' reviews on Amazon, Goodreads, etc.  The only professional review that I could find is on Kirkus Reviews:   We don't have an article on the author, Stephen J. Rivele, but a brief bio can be found on Goodreads:  (He's primarily a screenwriter) --2603:6081:1C00:1187:357E:3A04:8AB8:95E5 (talk) 15:27, 7 December 2020 (UTC)


 * The book presents itself as the translation of the authentic diary of an historical participant in the First Crusade. Some readers apparently did not grasp that this is a work of fiction, even though the publisher added "A novel of the Crusades" on the cover. Publisher's Weekly also has a review: . --Lambiam 08:29, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

 * That link did not work for me (it redirects to the paper's home page), but here is a version from Google's web cache. --Lambiam 10:25, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much. I'm gonna check those links!  DominiqueGoode  [Yes?]  21:06, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
