Trade Review
Fascinating and poignant...goes a long way to showing why Eleanor's mystique and allure has lasted as long as it has -- Elizabeth Buchan * Daily Mail *
Brimming with real events, the most intimate and fascinating period detail, high emotion and thrilling drama, this is historical fiction at its best and most enthralling. * Lytham St Anne's Express *
