5.0 out of 5 stars
A real beauty,
By Bomojaz (South Central PA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Via Crucis: A Romance of the Second Crusade (Paperback)
Set during the Second Crusade, the story revolves around Gilbert Warde, an English knight, and the two women who love him: Eleanor of Aquataine (Queen of France), and Beatrix, a childhood sweetheart. The power, of course, lies with Eleanor, but Gilbert is true to his childhood love. The ending is a bit strained when Beatrix refuses to believe that Gilbert loves her and asks for proof. He rescues her from a kidnapping which is very melodramatic. Eleanor is much the more interesting character, and Crawford portrays her, with all her faults (she is, after all, married to the King of France), admirably. This is one of Crawford's best novels, a real page-turner.
