A review by barbaraf
The Summer Queen by Elizabeth Chadwick

4.0

Eleanor of Aquatine definitely must have been a fascinating woman. She was queen of France and then England and mother to kings. This fictionalized story of her life does evolve around some of the well documented events that occurred during her life and also speculates on some of the purported rumors and innuendos.

Since this is a three part series, when you finish the book there is obviously not any real ending, plot twist or climax. So be prepared to read the rest of the series at some point. The bottom line is that I enjoyed the story and characters enough to continue. Thanks to the San Francisco Public Library for the ebook which was readily available.
