Yes tomorrow is the day, since I loved Leslie's first book "Notorious Royal Affairs" it would only be natural that I would love this one too. This will be the first historical fiction bloggers round table event of the year and you can find the full schedule below."A funny, raucous, and delightfully dirty 900-year history of the royal marriages of Europe's most famous-and infamous-monarchs."
"Since time immemorial, royal marriages have had little to do with love- and almost everything to do with diplomacy and dynasty. Clashing personalities have joined in unholy matrimony to form such infamous couples as Russia's Peter II and Catherine the Great, and France's Henri II and Catherine de Medici-all with the purpose of begetting a male heir. But with tensions high and silverware flying, kings like England's Henry II have fled to the beds of their nubile mistresses, while queens such as Eleanor of Aquitaine have plotted their revenge...Full of the juicy gossip and bad behavior that characterized Royal Affairs, this book chronicles the love-hate marriages of the crowned heads of Europe-from the Angevins to Charles and Di-and ponders how dynasties ever survived at all."

ReplyDeleteThank you ladies for the complements on the new header I am in love with it. I can finally say I am satisfied with the blog completely. Maybe now I will finally quit messing with it.
