'It is like a wide embrace gathering together all those who have long searched for words of hope.'
Her Eternal Crown is not a retelling of the life of Queen Marie; rather, it is the story - told largely in extracts from her own letters and diaries and from those of Martha Root - of the deepening relationship between a European monarch and the religion whose teachings she championed for the rest of her life.
