An author who makes history come gloriously alive
*The Times*
Stunning . . . Her characters are beguiling, and the story is
intriguing
*Barbara Erskine*
Meticulous research and strong storytelling
*Woman & Home*
Elizabeth Chadwick is without doubt the Queen of Medieval Fiction.
A Marriage of Lions is captivating; a beautifully written
thirteenth century epic inhabited by memorable personalities who
step from the past and feel gloriously present.
*Carol McGrath, author of The Damask Rose*
An even greater than expected treat! Elizabeth Chadwick's work
always delivers a combination of faultless historical research and
astonishing insight. A Marriage of Lions turns the spotlight on one
of the greatest heiresses of her generation, and her surprisingly
successful arranged marriage to the King's notoriously unpopular
half- brother. An unmitigated joy.
*Sara Cockerill, author of Eleanor of Aquitaine and Eleanor of
Castile*
Elizabeth Chadwick is a master at bringing history to life and
making the characters live and breathe for today's readers.
Fascinating history, the political concerns of war and the domestic
concerns of medieval married life are welded together
seamlessly.
*Deborah Swift, author of The Poison Keeper*
Elizabeth Chadwick has a knack of getting into the heads and hearts
of her characters, so that her books are impossible to put down. A
Marriage of Lions is not to be missed, shining a light on the 13th
century; the complex political manoeuvring, but also the family
dynamics that coloured the politics.
*Sharon Bennett Connolly*
When I read Elizabeth Chadwick's novels I always feel as if I'm
looking through a window onto actual historical events, her writing
is so vivid, and her research so superb. The portrait of William
and Joanna's marriage, which grows and thrives despite the travails
of war and terror, is quite masterful.
*Jane Johnson, author of The Sea Gate*
Love, loss, hatred, heartbreak and survival all play their part in
this riveting adventure which sees Chadwick at her storytelling
best. Don't miss it!
*Blackpool Gazette*
Known for both her historical accuracy and bringing interesting,
nuanced characters to life, Elizabeth Chadwick's latest novel is no
different ... this is another must-read from Elizabeth Chadwick
