The Girl of Many Crowns by DH Morris is an amazing historical fiction based on the the French princess Judith and Baldwin Iron Arm. This novel is set in the 800s in France, which is not typically a time period I enjoy. However, I loved this book because Morris brought these characters to life and didn't get me mired in the nitty gritty of ancient French political history. Don't get me wrong, I learned a lot about the political intrigues of the time, but always as a way of seeing Judith and her plight. During women's history month, I was happy to read this book and see that even seventeen hundred years ago, women understood that they were being used as pawns and found a way to rebel against their oppressors. Judith, though young, was strong, courageous, independent, and brave. I believe this story should become an animated film that we can show to our daughters and granddaughters to show them what strength in the face of adversity looks like. I raged, cheered, laughed, and cried - it's a must-read.
