To Be Queen: A Novel of the Early Life of Eleanor of Aquitaine by Christy English

3.0

Christy English's novel of Eleanor of Aquitaine earns a 3.5 from me for being strongly historically based and moving smoothly through events. It's impossible, however, not to draw comparisons with Sharon Kay Penman's When Christ and his Saints Slept and Time and Chance, which cover the same period and characters in a fuller and richer fashion.
