Almodis: The Peaceweaver 2nd Edition

“Almodis was quite a woman … literate, politically astute and powerful. Wisely, Warr portrays such a formidable character as admirable but vulnerable and yet not always sympathetic or likeable. She brings this relatively unknown period of French history vividly to life through the eyes of her fascinating heroine.” Historical Novels Review

“5* Oh now THIS was delightful. Warr manages a really believable level of daily-life detail. A+. Would read again.” Goodreads

“I finished the book in two late-night sittings because I didn’t want to stop reading. Warr makes Almodis into an extraordinary but plausible character. It doesn’t pull its historical punches. It delivers a fair few unexpected twists. This is serious entertainment.” A Corner of Tenth Century Europe

“Intelligent, thrilling and dramatic. Endearing characters added into the mix make this a book you won’t easily forget.” Waterstones
