ALL'S FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR...

The Welsh Marches, 1301

Strong-willed heiress Johane de Geneville is married to Roger Mortimer, Earl of March, at just fifteen years old.

Soon Johane finds herself swept up in a world of treacherous court politics and dangerous secrets as her husband deposes Edward II and rules England alongside Queen Isabella.

Yet when Roger is accused of treason, she is robbed of her freedom and must survive catastrophic events in her fight for justice - with her life, and her children's, hanging in the balance...

Will she pay for her husband's mistakes, or will she manage to escape from a terrible fate?

Good storytelling, excellent choice of narration,

I liked learning something new about lesser known historical figures. It felt like a behind the scenes look at the lives and actions of the “not quite royal” and yet so close. It was interesting to hear about the strength and forbearance of a female in such a time of uncertainty. I liked how the author gave her such a positive mindset as she faced adversity throughout her life. It was an easy listen and trip back in time.

Finally!!!!

Thank you! I have waited years for a good historical fiction story to be written of the Mortimer family. The bits and pieces that are weaved into other novels always left me wanting and wondering where they came from and what made the first Earl of the March believe he had any rights. How did he hook up with the Queen Isabella, did he leave any abandoned family and what did his wife do, think, feel? I started reading this genre when I was 14 years old. I’ve owned hard copies and have replaced all of the good ones with Audible recordings. I’m 58yrs old. Always searching for the next really good novel. This one was fantastic! Thank you!

Excellent!

Wonderful characters, excellent writing, and a story that was both honest and touching. I will be looking for my books by this author.

The incredible determination of the Countess de Mortimer

Beautiful, inspiring, engaging, entrancing. The voice of the narrator is exquisitely perfect for all the characters. !!!
