Overview

In the third volume of the Eleanor of Acquitaine novels, Eleanor finds herself torn between her early love for Henry II of England and resistance to his constant bullying of her and her sons in his fear of being superceded by his ambitious offspring. His paranoia leads him to imprison her to curtail her powers, but this makes her only more determined to resist him and defend her birthright, while, at the same time, reining in her sons' impulses to overthrow him. Who will win out-the autocratic Henry, or the resourceful Eleanor? It seems time may be on her side.

"""The Tigress Caged, the third of Helen Rayson-Hill's novels about Eleanor of Aquitaine, is a fabulous story, full of excitement, tension, colourful personalities, danger and death. Eleanor's voice comes through loud and clear on the page, and we experience the world as she does, feel all the emotions she does, and even think the way she does. The author's command of complex historical facts is revealed in the masterful way she is able to weave them seamlessly into a vividly realised narrative. There is no doubt that Helen's novels are among the best historical fictions of recent years."" -- Irina Dunn, Director, Australian Writers Network"
