Long before she became a literary fiction character of note, Weir wrote about Eleanor of Aquitaine with a sense of power and grace that brought her Middle Ages world to life and showcased her rule as the wife of two kings, mother of three, and competitive gardener.

VERDICT A work that helped cement Weir’s reputation and gave new voice to a woman of note.
