The Secret Eleanor: A Quote

Thursday, August 12th, 2010 | Cecelia Holland, Eleanor of Aquitaine

Still reading The Secret Eleanor by Cecelia Holland. I would have completely devoured it already if I wasn’t taken over by my own work. But during times of quiet, I have turned to Ms. Holland’s book. Though her versions of these characters are so different from my, I love them.

Ms. Holland’s Eleanor has a great line, one I wanted to share. When addressing a weeping lady in waiting, her Eleanor says:

"Keep your pride, girl. Or get some…"

I could almost hear her voice in my ear. Thank you, Ms. Holland, for bringing these people to life.
