What they are saying
Philippa Gregory, move over!
We have a stellar new historical storyteller in the very talented Joanna Courtney.
How wonderful to find a historical novel brave enough to move from the well-established cosiness of Tudor times to embrace a much earlier period of history - the Norman era - and told from a brave and strong woman’s point of view. 'The Chosen Queen’ reveals the relatively unfamiliar history of an early English Queen in a thumping good read.
- Julie Houston (author of Goodness, Grace and Me and The One Saving Grace)
Terrific narrative drive. A must read
"With lovely writing and a terrific sense of narrative drive, Joanna Courtney portrays an era of change through a story about a long forgotten Queen. In The Chosen Queen, Edyth is a heroine who inhabits a convincingly re-created historical world, peopled with personalities whose lives leap from the page. Superb!"
- Carol McGrath (author of The Daughters of Hastings trilogy)
"The story reaches a heart-rending climax. A must read. I loved it.!"
- Freda Lightfoot (author of The Amber Keeper)
Glorious story of love
"A glorious, rich, epic story of love, friendship and sacrifice which will sweep you up and transport you to another time. I absolutely loved this and can't wait for the next book in the series."
- Rachael Lucas (author of Sealed With A Kiss and Coming Up Roses)
