The Book of Eleanor: A Novel of Eleanor of Aquitaine, Pamela Kaufman
Review by: FunkeyMonkey

The hardships of being a woman in the time of Kings and Queens is shown in this novel. For a woman or young girl of an royal family or a family with money, life was mapped out for you. You couln't marry for love, you married for prestige of your family. This story tells of Eleanor of Aquitaine and how she lived her life, as much as she could on how she wanted. It is not a biography but some points are fact. I really enjoyed this read and would suggest it to anyone else interested in this period of time.
