pickMarie de France is forced out of Eleanor of Aquitaine‘s court in the 1100s, to set up an abbey. This is historical fiction at its best; I was totally enthralled, even though there wasn‘t a storyline as such.
I agree with comparisons to Hamnet, and to Wolf Hall, I think because we live inside the MC‘s mind and learn so much by doing that.
I didn‘t get bored Cindy but, whilst it‘s a 5 star read, I‘m not sure it will make my best of the year, Meg.
Cinfhen Beautiful review!! I enjoyed it too, but I did get bored at times. 3y
Megabooks Ah! I‘m still glad you loved it enough for a 5⭐️ though! 💜 3y
