Eleanor of Aquitaine brings her astonishing odyssey to life in POWER OF A WOMAN, her memoir of marriage to two warring kings, first Louis VII of France, then England's Henry II. She recalls wars, intrigues and ruthless diplomacy while confessing her loves, her hopes for her children and their fates. Dry wit marks Eleanor's tale of her Court of Ladies and her mystique as the femme fatale of her day. Chicago's Margaret Schmidt calls Robert Fripp
"a rare magician, a 'writer's writer.'" Read reviews, excerpts and Melissa Snell’s full-length
