It's interesting to note the comparison of eight-year-old Maud leaving home to become a bride and that of an event toward the end of the book. Maud is visited by her daughter-in-law and grandchildren. There her nine-year-old granddaughter is still allowed the luxury of being a child, whereas Maud herself had to give up her childhood in order to become a queen.
A truly fascinating book. This is not a book for the casual reader, however. If you love history and seeing political events unfold, you are likely to soak up the pages of this book. If you just want to read a story set in a historical period, though, the depth of detail about events may frustrate you.
I received a copy of this book through the Kindle Scout program.
The first book is about The Empress Mathilda as a child. It gave me a real appreciation of the incredible courage it took for this youngster to face leaving her home, going to a new country, learning languages and customs, and dealing with what is truly a lack of a real childhood -- and a real separation from those she loved.
Made me glad NOT to have been born the daughter of a king.
The book is not a romantic romp through history - rather it is the tale of the development of a woman of real depth and faith.
I give the author great credit for not submitting to the requirements of the publishing styles, genres, and the resulting formulas we have become so accustomed to.
I am honestly tired of reading formula books -- seems that if you've read one, you've read them all.
This is refreshingly different, intense in its conveying strong feelings and emotions in an understated way, and a fascinating look at the history of the period besides.
I wish to thank the author for her determination to do this right -- to honor the woman she is writing about - to communicate her best understanding of just who this very great lady was. It's been a long time since I have enjoyed a book as much as this one. And I am enjoying the sequel as well.

The author has provided an exceedingly detailed account of the life of Mathilda until the moment she becomes the heiress to the English throne. If you love the type of novel that leaves you with the feeling that you've learned a great deal, this book is for you. If you like action, it isn't.
