Westport author Nancy Goldstone portrays the riveting history of a beautiful queen, a shocking murder, a papal trial—and a reign as triumphant as any in the Middle Ages in her new book, The Lady Queen: The Notorious Reign of Joanna I, Queen of Naples, Jerusalem, and Sicily. Publishers Weekly says, "On Goldstone's rich, beautifully woven tapestry, medieval Europe springs to vivid life. This is a fresh, eminently enjoyable history that gives women their due as movers and shakers in tumultuous times."
Books will be available for purchase and signing.
