A superb novel of court intrique in 14th c England
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
You are very fortunate if you can find this book, along with the other five volumes of Maurice Druon's THE ACCURSED KINGS series of novels on the end of the Capetian kings of France. Novelized history in the best form (rivaled only by Sharon Penman's works) The She-Wolf of France covers the circumstances that finally led Queen Isabelle of England to usurp her husband Edward II's throne and have him killed. The characters are all well fleshed out, the text extensively end-noted with documentation of the chronicled events, the story lively and fascinating. I highly recommend not just The She-Wolf of France, but all of the Accursed King volumes to everyone with even a slight interest in history, mystery, murder, intrigue, romance, and tragedy
