I think the strength of the book was the use of the pronoun "I".
From the first pages, we are caught up in the history of Queen Edith because it tells us about his life (from birth to death).
I knew nothing of the life of Edith before this book and I was really excited to learn as much about it, about the customs at that time and especially on the lives of Saxon.
Edith touched me deep inside myself. She is so endearing that we want to say "do what you please and do not let you do with all these people" but unfortunately the story is not like that.
At the time, girls were to be married at a young age so that families share power and also their land.
I also liked discovering a girl at the beginning of the story and then a woman, who is cultivated, that arises full of issues and especially loves to read.
His brother will force him to marry a man who Otton gives the impression that is not interested in her, that he does not care if she thinks and especially the monitors as an overseer guard.
To be accepted by her in-laws, especially her stepmother, had to be more terrible because it feels good that this woman antipathy for this young woman who comes for the "replace".
Regarding Régine Sondermann writing, I found fluid and enjoyable to read. The language used is simple to understand, which does not hurt our reading.
The working biographer was conducted with a master hand that does not disgusts the reader with too much detail or too many dates.
I really love to read more about the life of Edith Queen because when we turn the last page, we feel a bit like "orphans".
