kenjariQueen of Shadows
by Edith Felber
This short, charming historical novel is about Isabella, queen to Edward II of England, as seen through the eyes of Gwenith, her lady-in-waiting and close confidant (Gwenith is fictional). The book focuses on the six years the lead up to and culminating in in Edward II's removal from the throne in 1326 and his murder the following year. It particularly focuses on Isabella's role in Edward's downfall and what drove her to it. I didn't find this novel to be terribly deep or probing, but it was nontheless a very enjoyable read.
