The Cloister and the Hearth

Gerard and Margaret fall in love in 15th. century Holland. They get married and are separated, and the rest of the book tells of their struggles to be reunited. Some of the most interesting parts of the book are the descriptions of Gerard's travels all over Europe. It's an engaging story, but I found the ending to be unsatisfying--it felt like Reade's own biases were getting in the way of the story resolving itself convincingly.
