Have just started this book, but it seems great, one of the best reads in a while. The story is about the life of Emma, queen of England and sister of the duke of Normandy. I have always found her a fascinating woman and have questioned what it was that made her choose her second family over her first, in essence abandoning her own son to fate. For me reading a book written from the perspective of a woman of power is really fascinating since so much of history seems to focus on men. This way the reader gets to see the other side of the story sometimes allowing so biases to be corrected. Hopefully the rest of the book doesn't prove to be disappointing, but it's definitely off to a good start.
