Welcome to Litsy!

Although I‘m only rating it “ok”, I will add the second book to my tbr. I don‘t think I‘ve read anything (or if I have, it‘s very little) about this time period, so I‘d like to know more. I listened to the audio, so I‘m certain that‘s why I missed things. It did pick up for me in the middle. There were a few other perspectives in the book, but it took me a while to “catch” this

Young Emma is sent to wed the ever suspicious King of England during a time of fear and power grabbing. Despite her youth and an unhappy marriage she learns to become Queen.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Another one finished! I really loved reading this one, and I have to say—I must get my hands on more books about this early Anglo-Saxon period!

Loosely based on the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, this is the story of Emma of Normandy who became Queen of England by wedding King Athelred in 1002. This was good. If you're a fan of Philippa Gregory or Elizabeth Chadwick you will enjoy this. The first in a trilogy of which 2 are published so far.
