Resumen del Editor

Renowned for her highly acclaimed and best-selling British histories, Alison Weir has in recent years made a major impact on the fiction scene with her novels about Queen Elizabeth and Lady Jane Grey. In this latest offering, she imagines the world of Eleanor of Aquitaine, the beautiful 12th-century woman who was queen of France until she abandoned her royal husband for the younger man who would become king of England.

In a relationship based on lust and a mutual desire for great power, Henry II and Eleanor took over the English throne in 1154, thus beginning one of the most influential reigns and tumultuous royal marriages in all of history. In this novel, Weir uses her extensive knowledge to paint a most vivid portrait of this fascinating woman.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A Tudor specialist, popular British historian Weir has ventured, with great success, into the increasingly expansive world of historical fiction…The history itself is inherently dramatic, augmented here by Weir’s usual lush detail, which stimulates rather than detracts from the well-paced narrative.” ( Booklist)

Very sad Love story

A wonderful love story that turns to a very sad love lost story. I love the old England history and the Kings & Queens the rule the lands. The narrator does a great job of bring the actors to life and making you feel as if you are there and living the story for yourself. Wonderful!! love it so much.

I could not stop listening!

Would you listen to Captive Queen again? Why?

Yes, I love historical stories about kings and queens. This was well written and expertly narrated. The story covers not just a romance, but the history and Weirs point of view for the life of a rich and intriguing women living through a male dominated life. Her trials and tribulations were great, but in the end, with the love of her many children, she was able to rise above it all.

What does Rosalyn Landor bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The emotions and fire of the Queen

DISAPPOINTING.....

Alison Weir seems to be losing her edge. I've always been a fan of her writing but, recently, her books are coming off like romance novels. I love Eleanor of Aquitaine - I know she was a ***ch sometimes but, hey, she was a woman in a man's world! In this book, she is portrayed as flighty and slutty, rather than the woman with a purpose who lived her life like a man. I've purchased every Weir audio book available here but this one just might be my last!

Captivating Story

Long a fan of royal history, it was fun to go back to the 1100s and hear about Henry II and his wife Eleanor. The passion, love, craziness, cruelty, and forgiveness wove a tale worth hearing. Once again Alison Weir provided a captivating account that kept royal history buffs tuned in. Rosalyn Landor did an EXCELLENT narration throughout this long story. I recommend The Captive Queen for anyone interested in a good tale of old.

Lots of nuances and character growth

I really enjoyed learning more about this story. This book has great character development too. It gets a little graphic at times but this book was a fascinating story.
