Title: cheap soap opera
Review: I wanted to read a biographical novel about Eleanor to learn something about Eleanor's personal character, not just the dry facts. But there is nothing to learn about Eleanor in this book. In fact, you can change the name of the heroine to Jennifer, or anyone you know, and the book suffers no loss. It's just a soap opera, in a 12th century setting. I found myself skipping the dialogs and racing impaciently through the book just to see what happens to Eleanor. And the only thing I remember from the book is that Richard the Lionheart is not the son of Henry Plantagenet!! Yet the worst of it is not so much the rampant fiction, but the literary un-quality, and the shallowness of the dialogs. I don't want for someone to bring Eleanor to the 21st century so that I can go shopping with her. What I want is for somebody to take me to the 12th century so that I can understand Eleanor. This is not the book for me.
