A Triple Knot

Joan of Kent, renowned beauty and cousin to King Edward III, is destined for a politically strategic marriage. As the king begins a long dynastic struggle to claim the crown of France, plunging England into the Hundred Years' War, he negotiates her betrothal to a potential ally and heir of a powerful lordship. But Joan, haunted by nightmares of her father's execution at the hands of her treacherous royal kin, fears the king's selection and is not resigned to her fate. She secretly pledges herself to one of the king's own knights, one who has become a trusted friend and protector. Now she must defend her vow as the king - furious at Joan's defiance - prepares to marry her off to another man. In A Triple Knot, Emma Campion brings Joan, the "Fair Maid of Kent," to glorious life, deftly weaving details of King Edward III's extravagant court into a rich and emotionally resonant tale of intrigue, love, and betrayal.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A Triple Knot is a superbly written, evocative tale of Joan of Kent that captivated me from the first page and held me until the very end. With a deft eye for detail and a wonderfully authentic evocation of time and place, Campion has delivered what is certain to become a classic." ---Diane Haeger, author of The Secret Bride

Emma Campion + Heather Wilds = Excellant !!!!!!

What other book might you compare A Triple Knot to and why?

elizabeth chadwick's books ... I love them, but audible is too slow in added new books by theses 2 fabulous historical romance writers to the "list of new books to buy"!!!

What about Heather Wilds’s performance did you like?

honest, emotional & very moving

Any additional comments?

pleaseeeee more emma campion !!!!!!!!!!

Intriguing story - narration dull

Would you try another book from Emma Campion and/or Heather Wilds?

I will definitely read another book by Emma Campion. I won't listen to another book narrated by Heather Wilds. Ms. Wilds has a pleasing voice, but, her reading style was flat and did not make the background come alive. Her ability to give the characters different voices was adequate. I found I was losing my place often because I was bored.

Would you be willing to try another one of Heather Wilds’s performances?

no

Did A Triple Knot inspire you to do anything?

Reading about Joan of Kent in "Triple Knot" sparked my interest in discovering more. I often found myself lost researching more of Britain, Normandy, and other French regions during the 12th - 16th centuries.

Any additional comments?

I think I would have enjoyed 'reading' this book rather than listening.

So GOOD!

I loved this story! I finished it over a weekend as I couldn’t stop listening! Give it a go- you won’t be sorry!

Great story

Enjoyed the story , but the narration was slow. Had to go to 1.25 speed to help it along. I really love historical novels based in fact.

A strong effort.

I hovered between three and four stars on this one. The research is exquisite. The downside to being thoroughly researched is sometimes there's a lack of intimate storytelling. It's a good book but I think there were too many players and background filler stuff.
