The heroine is a child when she is married off (about nine years old) and a widow at sixteen. OPINION: First off, certain parts of this book won’t appeal to some readers. A year after her husband’s death, Eleanor meets Simon de Montfort, a Norman knight who desires Eleanor and wants to convince her to break all those vows she made. Inconsolable, Eleanor swore never to marry again and took a vow of chastity. Eleanor was widowed unexpectedly when he husband came to her bed. THE STORY: Princess Eleanor was a child bride whose older husband had no intention of consummating the marriage until she was an appropriate age. I enjoyed the drama and the underlying historical drama although many readers may be put off by the actions of the characters, especially the hero. The Dragon and the Jewel (Medieval Plantagenet #2) by Virginia HenleyįINAL DECISION: More historical fiction than romance, this book is a saga about the tempestuous romance between Princess Eleanor Plantagenet and Simon de Montfort, a real couple in Medieval England. ![]()
