Negative Positive
Title: Save your money
Review: A badly written historical romance trying to disguise itself as an historical novel. Ellen James takes a defining moment in English history--the struggle between Maude of Germany and Stephen of Blois for the English throne--and turns it into a love story, even implying that Maude's son Henry was fathered by Stephen and not her husband Geoffrey of Anjou! Readers who know nothing of history may enjoy this, but for a much better overview of these events read Sharon Kay Penman's "When Christ and His Saints Slept."
