A review by emiann2023
The Summer Queen by Elizabeth Chadwick

5.0

I enjoy stories about powerful frmale rulers. Elizabeth I (and II), Hatshepsut, Catherine the Great, Queen Seondeok. And of course, Eleanor of Aquitaine.

She is known to have been a fearsome, powerful ruler. And I was excited to read such a detailed telling of her story. She was truly an incredible woman, and this book gave sucb depth and clarity to her as a woman and a ruler. Truly a delightful read.
