"While I have enjoyed many an Elizabeth Chadwick novel, A Marriage of Lions stands on a level with The Greatest Knight as one of her very best. If you are an Elizabeth Chadwick fan, this is a must read. If you have never read Elizabeth, then I suggest you start with this one – you will definitely want to read the rest afterwards. It is one of the best historical fiction novels that I have read this year. I did not want it to finish and yet – at the same time – could not wait to get to the end!" Sharon Bennett Connolly author of Defenders of the Norman Crown.
"Absolutely loved A Marriage of Lions - what wonderfully vivid characters you have conjured with William and Joanna. The portrait of their marriage during such dramatic, demanding times, is a masterpiece." Jane Johnson, author of The Sea Gate.
" Marriage of Lions tells an utterly engrossing and captivating story, giving Joanna and William the limelight they deserve, bringing them out of the shadow of the monstrous and astonishing Simon de Montfort. I was particularly fascinated by the depiction of Henry III’s marriage but Joanna and William take centre stage and shine in this fabulous, immersive novel." Kate Atherton, reader, reviewer and book blogger on the For Winter Nights blog.
"An even greater than expected treat! Elizabeth Chadwick's work always delivers a combination of faultless historical research and astonishing insight. A Marriage of Lions turns the spotlight on one of the greatest heiresses of her generation, and her surprisingly successful arranged marriage to the King's notoriously unpopular half- brother. Joan is enchanting; William is a revelation; and the depictions of the characters of Henry III's court are vivid and entirely true to the records. For me it was a particular pleasure to meet the young Eleanor of Castile, navigating with Joan the political cross currents of Henry III's turbulent court. An unmitigated joy." Sara Cockerill, author of Eleanor of Aquitaine - Queen of France and England and Mother of Empires."
"A rich, detailed portrait of a woman attempting to survive brutal court politics." Antonia Senior, The Times.
