The latest installment in Penman's expansive history of Britain (and consequently Wales and France) is sure to please loyal fans and convert newcomers alike. Time and Chance continues the story of Henry II and his fiery Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine. Readers experience the turbulence of Henry's relationship with Thomas Becket, with the Church, and with his beautiful Aquitainian wife. Filled with historical fact (and a few new inventions explained in the author's note), Time and Chance is an engrossing read that brings to life medieval England, France, and Wales, putting history in a context that non-historians and historians alike can appreciate.
