I've been intending to get this for my mother, who went to St Hild's College Durham*. She likes Byatt and is currently working her way through Diarmaid MacCulloch's A History of Christianity so density is not a problem. Your review reminds me of Mary Stewart's Merlin trilogy, mainly because of the Dark Ages politics. I may have to read it myself first.
*it has since gone co-ed and merged with Bede, who my mother points out wasn't a saint in her day.
