The Cloistered Lady: A historical novel set in Medieval France (The Medieval Ladies Series Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Coirle Mooney (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars 434 ratings
An enchanting historical drama set in Medieval France! For fans of Philippa Gregory, Elizabeth Chadwick, Carol McGrath and Anne O’Brien.

Joanna and Alice are forced from dazzling court life to bleak confinement…

1173, France

Eleanor of Aquitaine has been arrested for rebelling against her husband, King Henry II of England.

Her loyal ladies-in-waiting, Alice and Joanna of Agen have fled to the nunnery at Fontrevault, where they are anxiously awaiting news of their queen.

Alice and Joanna struggle to adapt to their cramped new home at the Abbey. Each is secretly nursing a broken heart – and harbouring unholy desires.

Joanna left behind a lover, Jean, at Eleanor’s court in Poitiers, and Alice has long been in love with the queen’s daughter, Marie.

And as the days stretch on with no news, they both begin to fear the worst.

What has happened to Eleanor? Will Alice and Joanna be forced to remain at the Abbey indefinitely?

And will they ever be reunited with the ones they love?

THE LADY’S KEEPER is a beautifully written Medieval historical novel set during Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine’s lifetime in France. It is the second book in The Medieval Ladies Series.

'This riveting story is a drama that transports the reader on a journey back to Medieval France, where life seems so precarious. With an intriguing heroine, flawed yet fascinating, Joanna walks with us through the nunnery in which she and her aunt are trapped. A tense read, emotive, and full of heartache, this is a page-turning read for fans of medieval fiction and romance' Adele Jordan, author of The Gentlewoman Spy

    Impressive insight to the multitude of emotions and intrigues that would surround a community of just women. Very different perspective of life during the reign of Henry and Eleanor
