The Northern Queen by Kelly EvansMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I have always respected and admired Canute and Emma so to read about a woman who due to Emma's own records is portrayed as an enemy of the royal family was a bit of a personal challenge. However I did come to also respect if not admire Aelgifu's life and her impact on history.
Yet I do advise future readers to research the real history around this book as it does end at a specific point for the benefit of the story. In this case the truth is better than fiction about this very real game of thrones with two remarkable women.
