Four Sisters, All Queens by Sherry Jones

Full review you can find on my blog: http://poetryofreading.blogspot.com/2019/05/four-sisters-all-queens-by-sherry-jones.html

This fantastic book has it all: family drama, love, lust, betrayal, redemption, and irony. Sherry Jones creates a story that explains how four very different sisters were able to end up as Queens and leaders of Europe - at the same time. Marguerite, Queen consort of France, Eleonore, Queen consort of England, Sanchia, Queen consort of Germany, Beatrice, Queen consort of Sicily. Four remarkable women made even more so by their sisterhood and the trials each faced.

[the-second-sentence]

Yet it began like one thousand and one days before: the wink of the sun and my cry of alarm, late again, the spring from my bed and the flight through the windowless rooms of my father's house, my wooden play-sword in my hand, my bare feet slapping the cool stone floor, I'm late I'm late I'm late.

Una scrittrice per me nuova, ma mi ha affascinata. Giornalista americana, studiosa della società islamica, ha studiato l'arabo per potersi integrare e comprendere. Questa citazione viene da uno dei libri che compongono la serie su A'isha, la sposa di Maometto.

It’s funny how, over the years, so many have taken Abelard’s account literally. Many scholars now agree, however, that he probably exaggerated his sins to heighten the effect of his redemption, which he trumpets in his tale. Adding insult to injury, of course, is his admission in a later letter that he had been driven not by love for Heloise, but by lust. Again, all the world has been quick to condemn him, forgetting that castration — her uncle’s mad revenge — had certainly altered his hormones and dulled the once-sharp edge of his desire for her, or for any woman. From such a perspective, as well as from the fifteen or more years that had passed since their love had blossomed, almost anyone might forget those old feelings.
