(3) YA In this story of the legendary Héloïse and Abelard, Abelard chooses twelve-year-old Aran to be his personal servant because he is mute and will not be able to speak of the lovers' trysts. But their secret brings them all into danger. Aran, called Spider, relates their story, as well as his own. The setting in twelfth-century France provides a rich backdrop for an unusual coming-of-age novel.
