Praise for Notorious Royal Marriages
“For those who tackled Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall, and can’t get
enough of the scandal surrounding Henry VIII’s wives, [Notorious
Royal Marriages] is the perfect companion book.”—The New Yorker
“Carroll writes with verve and wit about the passionate—and
occasionally perilous—events that occur when royals
wed....Carroll’s fascinating account of nine centuries of royal
marriages is an irresistible combination of People magazine and the
History Channel.”—Chicago Tribune (5 stars)
“Sex! Intrigue! Scandal! Carroll’s newest offering chronicles
well-known matrimonial pairings among European royals during the
last nine hundred years. With a breezy and lively narrative, she
gives the dirt on a parade of often mismatched couples.”—Historical
Novels Review
“Carroll is a sharp and amusing writer...You’ll be entertained like
a tabloid would entertain you, but you’ll also learn as much as you
would in a European studies course in college...a perfect marriage
of a book!”—Examiner.com
