Historically inaccurate, awful
I was so excited to read this book as there are so few novels about Eleanor of Aquitane. Unfortunately, this book is HORRID. I mean they talk about Eleanor being dilated during one of her labors, come on I am sure they had no idea about this sort of stuff in Eleanor's time. That is just one example of the sloppy research the author has conducted. This reads like some Jean Plaidy paperback but is 3x the length.
