About this listen
Eleanor of Aquitaine
A loving mother. A betrayed wife. A queen beyond compare.
1154
Eleanor of Aquitaine, one of the most powerful women in Europe, is crowned queen of England beside her young husband Henry II. While Henry battles their enemies and lays his plans, Eleanor is an adept acting ruler and mother to their growing brood of children. But she yearns for more than this - if only Henry would listen.
Instead, Henry pushes Eleanor to the sidelines, involving himself with a young mistress and denying Eleanor her rightful authority. As matters reach a crisis, Eleanor becomes caught up in a family rebellion. And even a queen must face the consequences of treason....
Award-winning author Elizabeth Chadwick continues the fascinating story of a queen fighting for her rightful place in a world of divided loyalties and passionate betrayals.

Excellent story
I really enjoyed this well written, beautifully expressed story. The characters live and breathe and emerge from the pages in captiveating form. An excellent reading.

The novel is well researched and accessible
I most enjoyed the character arcs but have to admit, certain phrases began to grate. There were a lot of “ curling of lips”, and Henry sounded angry all the time so his characterisation became a little monochromatic. Having said that, I have really enjoyed listening so thank you
