Book Reviews of Harlot Queen
Book Review: Royal Family Dysfunction
Summary: 4 Stars
I had no idea about Isabella the 'She Wolf' of France. I found this history fascinating and I struggled to stay away from WikiPedia until I was done with the book. I didn't want to know what happened before I read Hilda Lewis' version of events.
Someone who is familiar with the facts might have a very different opinion but I thought the story was engaging and well written and never overly dramatic.
Some of the details were a bit grotesques, many times I felt lucky to be born into the modern world. Life was hard in Medieval times and justice was very harsh.
I liked the way Lewis varied the narrative from the first person to the third person perspective, it was done very subtly, without jarring the reader. And the way she presented the story allowed the reader to sympathize with King Edward II and Queen Isabella at different times during the course of events. And what interesting events they were!
