Historical fiction telling Joan of Kent's story during the 14th century. She was known as "the most beautiful maid in all of the realm" and "Fair Joan of Kent". It starts during her teen years at King Edward III's court and is full of royal scandal, medieval political intrigue, broken betrothals, annulled marriage, and a love-hate relationship with the Prince of Wales....sound familiar? History does repeat itself...Joan is Lady Di's direct ancestor. Historically, it does deviate from the known facts and omits/changes certain details but this did not stop me from thoroughly enjoying it. It is more a love story and would not appeal to the pure historians.
