5.0 out of 5 stars LETTER FROM POITOU Is An Amazing Historical Fiction Read!, 27 Feb 2006
By Kimberly Gelderman (Spring Lake, MI USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This is the story of Eve de Clavering, a child bride, who is forced to marry the Audley heir to further her father's dynastic greed.

She is married twice by the age of twenty-one and she had no legitimate children. However she had five illegitimate children by her lover, James Audley, in a twenty year relationship. She was enveloped by intrigue and scandal and became a formidable companion to Queen Isabella, who is termed the "she-wolf" of France.

Eve's eldest boy, James Audley (the younger) becomes a favorite of Edward III and the Black Prince of Wales and was a founding member of the Garter Knights. He was also a hero in the battle of Poitiers in the Hundred Years War.

Eve lives a full, sometimes overwhelming life and sees the ripe old age of 76 years before she passes away in the same year and month as her celebrated son.

This was an excellent novel of 14th century history seen through the eyes of Eve by a first time author, Michael J. Eardley. I anticipate more from this author and sincerely hope he continues along this line and writes about the short but notable life of the Black Prince of Wales. Bravo James!!!!!!
