Stunning... [Weir has] brought those five queens to life like never
before. I just raced through it - it has all the drama and suspense
of a novel.
*Tracy Borman*
[A] historian who has achieved popularity without sacrificing
scholarly precision... She writes with the dramatic intensity of a
novelist.
*The Times*
The book that I most anticipated this year was Alison Weir's Queens
of the Crusades... Told with all of Weir's characteristic verve and
exceptional eye for detail, this book should find its way into
every history lover's Christmas stocking.
*BBC History Magazine *Books of the Year 2020**
As in previous books, the exceedingly knowledgeable author's
prodigious research is impressive. Another treat for Weir fans.
*Kirkus Reviews*
This meticulous group biography of the first five Plantagenet
queens of England brushes away long-standing legends. Weir
skillfully documents the political, religious, and cultural issues
of medieval England and France.
