A very good debut novel by Sophie Perinot. The main plot focuses on the two sisters, Margarite and Eleanor and their loves as rival queens, in England and France. Ms. Perinot does a good capturing the time period and giving us flavor of 1200's Europe and Middle East. I like the way she aged and matured our two queens over time. Some of phrases I like to, such as feeling like ripe pear ready to burst late in pregnancy. My favorite part of the books was the letters the sisters write to each other in the begining of the each chapter.
