Time and Chance -- Sharon Kay Penman

<b><i><br></i></b>In <i>When Christ and His Saints Slept</i>, acclaimed historical novelist Sharon Kay Penman portrayed all the deceit, danger, and drama of Henry II's ascension to the throne. Now, in <i>Time and Chance, </i> she continues the ever-more-captivating tale. <p/>It was medieval England's immortal marriage--Eleanor of Aquitaine and Henry II, bound by passion and ambition, certain to leave a legacy of greatness. But while lust would divide them, it was friendship--and ultimately faith--that brought bloodshed into their midst. It began with Thomas Becket, Henry's closest confidant, and his elevation to be Archbishop of Canterbury. It ended with a perceived betrayal that made a royal murder seem inevitable. Along the way were enough scheming, seductions, and scandals to topple any kingdom but their own. . . . <p/>Only Sharon Kay Penman can re-create this truly tumultuous time--and capture the couple who loved power as much as each other . . . and a man who loved God most of all. <p/><b><i><br></i></b><br><br><b>Author:</b> Sharon Kay Penman<br><b>Publisher:</b> Ballantine Books<br><b>Published:</b> 02/04/2003<br><b>Pages:</b> 544<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.25lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.20h x 5.60w x 1.30d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780345396723<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 8.1<br><b>Point Value:</b> 37<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Upper Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>67034 / Time and Chance<br><br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>
