I was going thru the upcoming HF books at Amazon, when I noticed a reprint by Hilda Lewis. It's titled I, Jacqueline (ISBN 0752445642). There's no blurb about it. I never heard of this author. I was wondering if any of you have read her. What do you think of her? Anyone know what the new reprint is about? New reprint - is that an oxymoron? :) Genie |

This is from the UK site: A historical fiction that presents the life and loves of Jacqueline of Hainaut, thrice married, thrice imprisoned and ransomed; the extraordinary fifteenth century life of a woman who endured the power politics of the courts of England, Burgundy and France. I'm not really sure who she is though, although a possibility might be the wife of Humphrey of Glouchester (the youngest son of Henry IV). He married a woman named Jacqueline in the early 1400's who I think was from Hainaut and had been married at least once before. Here's some info on her (in case it is the same person). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacqueline%2C_Countess_of_Hainaut

I have 3 or 4 of her books on my wishlist but have not heard of the Jacqueline book. |

I did some research too on this re-print when I saw it and I think Daphne is right. I've read several Lewis books, but had never heard of I,Jacqueline until I saw the reprint at Amazon. |

Thanks, everyone! Daphne, I didn't even think of going to the UK site. Some researcher I am! LOL! Jacqueline sounds interesting. I put it on my WL. |

I've only read I Am Mary Tudor and liked it a lot. It almost even made me like Mary Tudor LOL |
