Praise
“A wonderful book about four remarkable women . . . An utterly compelling read.”
-Alison Weir, author of Eleanor of Aquitaine
“A densely woven narrative of sibling rivalry, simmering resentments, and thwarted ambitions. . . . Times change but not, it seems, sisterly love.”
-Dr. Amanda Foreman, author of Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire
“Remarkable . . . told with all the verve and aplomb and richness of detail that four such extraordinary women deserve.”
-Ross King, author of Brunelleschi’s Dome
“Goldstone weaves a vivid tapestry worthy of her subjects.”
–Entertainment Weekly
“On Goldstone’s rich, beautifully woven tapestry, medieval Europe springs to vivid life. . . . This is a fresh, eminently enjoyable history that gives women their due as movers and shakers in tumultuous times.”
–Publishers Weekly (starred review)
