La corona d'inverno. Il romanzo di Eleonora d'Aquitania

Second book in the trilogy written by Elizabeth Chadwick, this book focuses on the character of Eleanor of Aquitaine. The book is full of descriptions, helpful to understand the politics and the balances of the world during Middle Age. 

It can be described as a refreshing touch on women and their power, remembering us that men have always, also in the past, had more power but also more flaws than women

We are in 1154 when the novel starts and throughout the book, Henry II respects every characteristic of a ruler, focusing in battles and conquests, not caring about his wife but wandering around. 

I suggest this book to everyone who loves a good historic tale, full of details and descriptions. 
But remember, it's fiction.
