"Captive Queen" is Brilliant
Find a heady combination of history and the power of a strong woman in “Captive Queen” by Alison Weir. This novel brings the life of Eleanor of Aquitaine to the page. Her relationship with King Henry II is told in sensuous, passionate language. I was enraptured from page one. I could literally feel the passion, fire and strong emotions of Eleanor. The story was so vivid and imaginative. Weir is a brilliant story teller. I will definitely read more of her work.
