Description
In 12th-century England, Marie de France, an outcast poet, is banished to a remote convent and tasked with leading its impoverished nuns. Faced with a failing institution and the scorn of the local lord, Marie transforms the convent into a thriving, self-sufficient community through her fierce will and visionary leadership. This novel is a defiant exploration of female power, creativity, and resilience in a world determined to suppress them. Groff masterfully crafts a narrative that is both a historical reimagining and a timeless examination of ambition and faith.
