Duchess of Aquitaine: A Novel of Eleanor by Margaret Ball
3.0
Uuuugh this book DRAGGED.
I love history. Always have, always will. And I’ve wanted to know more about Eleanor if Aquitaine. This book wasn’t what I wanted. It was slow in places, infuriated me in others, and only briefly was entertaining. It also jumps around quite a bit with no warning, and expects the reader to keep up with its vague allusions to historical happenings and movements. I did greatly enjoy the first few chapter, however.
I wouldn’t recommend this to most, but if you like dull historical scene-setting, go for it.
