I'm afraid it's not easy reading (I would have hard time reading it in english I guess) : not what I would call a biopic, rather thoughts and feelings from Alienor to Louis and from Louis to Alienor. Thanks for posting your "maybe" Alienor coin Q Edit to add : I love that portrait of hers on the front cover, so much strenght and determination !
