pearl35 's review for:
A Triple Knot
by Emma Campion
From an author who also writes a couple of series of medieval mysteries, this is a historical novel about Joan of Kent and her three marriages (Thomas Holland, William Montague, Edward the Black Prince), unfolded while the plague and the Hundred Years' War complicate politics and keep the pope barricaded behind incense at Avignon. As difficult as it is to measure the agency of a twelve year old girl in the 14th century, other novels about Joan have had her first two marriages just be the obstacles to her eventual union with Edward, but this one takes the opposite tack, making the prince a bully and an overbearing creeper from childhood, which jibes well with my general theme that being a ruthless sociopath was good qualification to be a medieval king (I'm looking at you Henry V).
