Eleanor of Aquitaine

A loving mother. A betrayed wife. A queen beyond compare.

1154

Eleanor of Aquitaine, one of the most powerful women in Europe, is crowned queen of England beside her young husband Henry II. While Henry battles their enemies and lays his plans, Eleanor is an adept acting ruler and mother to their growing brood of children. But she yearns for more than this - if only Henry would listen.

Instead, Henry pushes Eleanor to the sidelines, involving himself with a young mistress and denying Eleanor her rightful authority. As matters reach a crisis, Eleanor becomes caught up in a family rebellion. And even a queen must face the consequences of treason....

Award-winning author Elizabeth Chadwick continues the fascinating story of a queen fighting for her rightful place in a world of divided loyalties and passionate betrayals.

I have enjoyed this book immensely. Finished very quickly, as I had a difficult time putting it down. The narrator, too, is the one of my favorites. She captured all of the passion and heartfelt emotion of Eleanor's plight.

Amazing!

This book is the 2nd installment in the author's series on Eleanor of Aquitaine. These are the first books I've listened to by Elizabeth Chadwick and I absolutely love her writing style. Eleanor of Aquitaine was an extraordinary woman and I think she deserves a 3 book series. So-Ms. Chadwick, please get the last book ready to go! Katie Scarfe has a lovely voice, however her attempts at a masculine tone leave a little bit to be desired. It doesn't take away from the performance too much, but enough for me to rank it a 4.

Love this series!
