I enjoy historical romances and this is a good one. Judith Tarr is one of my favorite authors. She researches her stories well and I find them quite entertaining. THE EAGLES DAUGHTER is about the struggle for the throne of the Holy Roman Empire during the 10th century. The Empress Theophano is a strong, admirable character.
