Trade ReviewHer biography reads like a medieval romance, a marvellous intermingling of fact with legend...fascinating...splendid * Literary Review *
Weir approaches Eleanor's story with an objective eye and a mass of primary and secondary source material. The result is as vivid as it is informative * The Times *
Sensible and eminently readable * Times Literary Supplement *
