In a Dark Wood Wandering: A Novel of the Middle Ages
Description
Set against the upheavals of the Hundred Years’ War, this richly imagined historical novel follows Charles, Duke of Orléans, from the privileges of the French court through battle, captivity, and the shifting loyalties of medieval Europe. As dynastic conflict and political intrigue reshape his world, Charles seeks meaning through poetry, love, and reflection. Hella S. Haasse brings the Middle Ages vividly to life, exploring the tension between violence and art, public duty and private identity, and the fragile possibilities of human connection.
