It's interesting and not a very used device so I am okay with it now. This little book took me more than a month to read. It was a bit off-putting at first and it took me a while to get past. I did have to get used to the heaven thing. did a great job with this story and it was fun to read. She is a leader in a time women weren't much more than property.
This was the time period that England owned land in what is now France and they fight over later in the War of the Roses.Įleanor is a wonderful character, spirited and strong. She also raised sons that shaped the monarchy in England. She came up with the Chivalrous knights and manners and courtly love. She marries several people in her life and she was very much into politics and came up with so many things the middle ages are known for. We learn about Eleanor, and it's her story, when she is getting married and who she is. There are 4 parts told from 4 different people.
It's a bit odd to bring in that, but it works. sets this up as all these people are in heaven and they are telling their stories of what happened on Earth. I don't know how I feel about the story set up, but I enjoy the story told.
I did recognize the name Eleanor of Aquitaine and of course her song Richard the Lion Hart who is in Robin Hood.
