About this listen

 Eleanor of Aquitaine has disappeared. After launching a great rebellion to destroy her husband Henry II’s reign, it seems she has abandoned her sons in the struggle against their formidable father. As treachery radiates from Scotland to the Pyrenees, tension between the kings of France and England erupts into war. Richard, the mightiest of the English princes, is determined to find his mother and avenge her. But Henry is more cunning than Richard or any of the other rebels anticipated and the fates of Eleanor, her sons and France itself, are in jeopardy. A tragic history of love, power and betrayal, The Cubs Roar reveals the destruction of an empire at the hands of a broken family.©2020 Blanche d'Alpuget (P)2021 Bolinda Publishing Fiction Medieval King Royalty Scotland France

Critic reviews

‘Is there an Australian writer more versatile than Blanche d’Alpuget? She throws herself into the twelfth century with astonishing élan to deliver a lusty, gripping account of the Plantagenets.’ (On The Birth of the Plantagenets) (Annabel Crabb, bestselling author of The Wife Drought)

Great

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. It completes the whole series is excellent style. It is both well written and well developed, showing a rather different view of the reign of Henry 11. The whole story is enhanced by the wonderful skill of the narrator, Colin Morgan, who, once again impresses with his ability with character voices.
On the whole an impressive and interesting novel.
