FORGOTTEN QUEEN WILL BE NOW REMEMBERED

The women in this novel will get into your heart -- fair warning!I still find myself wondering about them. They lived their lives as best they could within the context of their time. Matilda's words haunt me, "You can not stop my love more than you can stop the wind." And while her love remained she separated herself from her lover. A simple life embracing thought developed in my mind that stays with me. Today's despair is only that. Life is long, and tomorow may bring some small reason to be happy. Tomorrow may bring a new connection that will enrich in surprising ways. Matilda saves some measure of happiness for herself and the throne for her son.

Impeccable research, compelling characters !

Impeccable research and compelling characters make this book a "Must read" for any history buff, and especially for those who prefer their history in an engrossing format. Ms Garwood sucks you in with her vibrant characters. I could not put it down!

Great Book ... A must read for history buffs

Haley Elizabeth Garwood does a fantastic job of pulling in her readers and keeping the story alive. The persosnalities are real and enthalling. I read this book on the plane trips over Christmas and found that I couldn't put it down. Each chapter makes you want to go on the the next to see what happens. A great book to share with friends. Can't wait for her next installment on the Warrior Queen Series.

A truly good historical read

If Like myself you enjoy a good historical read that is into a lot of facts and not much romance then this is a book you should try. For a first book it truly is a winner. I look forward to the next installment.

Excellent and powerfully written historical novel!

Dr. Garwood shows the depth of her research in this wonderfully written 12th century novel. It is filled with adventure, intrigue, love, passion, and power. The beautiful setting of England as the backdrop to the intense real life drama shows us the skill that Dr. Garwood has as a novelist. I loved it. Her characters were developed well and interesting throughout the book. It is the kind of book that you hate to have end.
