When Christ and His Saints Slept
by Sharon Kay Penman
I really enjoyed this book. I had just finished reading [b:The Plantagenet Prelude|865347|The Plantagenet Prelude (Plantagenet Saga, #1)|Jean Plaidy|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179008561s/865347.jpg|850749]and now I don't know if I will ever be able to read another [a:Jean Plaidy|6590|Jean Plaidy|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1237699211p2/6590.jpg]book. This book had such a wealth of information, and it was so well put together. I really like all the different characters in the book, including England itself. It is amazing to me the hardships that the common English people were put through, when they really didn't care who was King or Queen. Maude and Stephen were brought back to life in this book.
I will say that I wasn't expecting to book to be like this. When I picked it up I was wanting to read about Eleanor of Aquitaine, and she really wasn't in the book until the last hundred pages or so. I don't think that the subject of this book should be called Eleanor and Henry. It was really about Maude and Stephen. It would be hard to read the next book in the series, which is about Eleanor and Henry, because you kind of need this for background information. I am very excited to read the next one. [a:Sharon Kay Penman|24655|Sharon Kay Penman|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1234237583p2/24655.jpg] had yet to disapoint me.
Great Book
