I think it would have been a better book with 100 pages or so of sexual details just left out; it got tiresome. I hadn't read a historical fiction in quite awhile and I enjoyed the detail and slow pace. (

This novel was my first encounter with Eleanor of Aquitaine in anything other than some broad European history classes in high school and college and with Elizabeth Chadwick, an author whose attention to detail made these historical figures come to life for me. I devoured this 500-page book in less than two partial days: the storytelling was that compelling. Although I have long been a fan of historical novels, I have confined most of my reading in that genre to novels from the 18th century onward. It is only recently that I began to read novels from earlier eras. I was skeptical that a story set in medieval times would hold my interest, so I was pleasantly surprised at how effortlessly I was drawn into this 12th century world, due largely to Ms. Chadwick's meticulous research and plain, but rich, writing style. I am so looking forward to starting the second book in this trilogy, The Winger Crown. (

Elizabeth Chadwick has become one of my favorite authors. She knows how to take dry historical facts and weave them into tantalizing historical fiction stories. The stories flow never becoming dry or boring and always wanting the reader to read just one more page. (
