The Schoonover Collection Queen's Cross

“...the narrative puts the meat of living flesh on the dry bones of skeletonized history...Schoonover’s best effort to date.” -Chicago Sunday Tribune “Picaresque, romantic recreation of history...” -Kirkus Book Reviews “A real contribution to the history of Spain and the Spanish people...recommended for pubic school and university libraries” -Library Journal “...unfurled in swatches of bright color and sound sentiments, you will like ‘The Queen’s Cross.’ ” -Saturday Review “The tale of the beautiful and able young Isabella of Castile...illuminating, swift-moving, and filled with color” - The New York Times Accident, or Divine Plan? A girl’s unlikely inheritance of Spain’s crown and her arranged marriage to a handsome, rash ally opens the door to her greatest dream: a united, powerful, and enduring kingdom. This is Lawrence Schoonover’s gripping and elegant story of intrigue, hard combat, and the love of a woman for her country, her religion, and her dynamic and flawed partner and husband.
