The falcon's eyes : a novel / Francesca Stanfill. by Stanfill, Francesca. Harper, an imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers, 2022. Call #: FICTION STA Subjects Eleanor, of Aquitaine, Queen, consort of Henry II, King of England, 1122?-1204 -- Fiction.   Young women -- 12th century -- Fiction.   Queens -- Great Britain -- Fiction.   Wives -- Fiction.   Identity (Psychology) -- Fiction.   Falconry -- Fiction.   Middle Ages -- Fiction.   Great Britain -- History -- Henry II, 1154-1189 -- Fiction. ISBN:  9780063074224 (hc) Alternate title:  Falcon's eyes : a novel of Eleanor of Aquitaine Edition:  1st ed. Description:  819 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. Summary:  "Set in France and England at the end of the twelfth century, the moving story of a spirited, questing young woman, Isabelle, who defies convention to forge a remarkable life, one profoundly influenced by the fabled queen she idolizes and comes to know -- Eleanor of Aquitaine. A sweeping, suspenseful tale about marriage, freedom, identity, and motherhood, The Falcon’s Eyes not only illuminates a brilliant century and the notorious queen who dominated it, but also brings to life the vivid band of characters whom the heroine encounters on her journey to selfhood. Principal among them, Isabelle’s charismatic, controlling husband, as obsessed by falconry as he is by having an heir. The various settings -- Château Ravinour, Fontevraud Abbey, and Queen Eleanor’s exiled court in England -- are depicted as memorably as the noblewomen, nuns, servants, falconers, and courtiers who inhabit them. With a series of twists and turns, the story pulses forward as Isabelle confronts one challenge, one danger, after another, until it hurtles to its final, enthralling, page. With the historical understanding of Hillary Mantel and the storytelling gifts of Ken Follett, Francesca Stanfill has created an unforgettable character who, while firmly rooted in her era, is also a woman for all times."--Publisher.
