Summary:
"A provocative, immersive medieval novel starring one of literature'
s
most unforgettable
characters
in her own words
--
Chaucer
's bold and libidinous
Wife
of
Bath
. In the middle ages, a famous poet told a story that mocked a strong woman. It became a literary classic. But what if the woman in question had a chance to tell her own version? England, 1364: When married off at aged twelve to an elderly farmer, brazen redheaded Eleanor quickly realizes it won't matter what she says or does, God is not on her side
--
or any poor woman'
s
for that matter. But then again, Eleanor was born under the joint signs of Venus and Mars, making her both a lover and a fighter. Aided by a head for business (and a surprisingly kind husband), Eleanor manages to turn her first marriage into success, and she rises through society from a cast-off farm girl to a woman of fortune who becomes a trusted friend of the social-climbing poet
Geoffrey
Chaucer
. But more marriages follow--some happy, some not--several pilgrimages, many lovers, murder, mayhem, and many turns of fortune'
s
wheel as Eleanor pursues the one thing that all women want: control of their own lives."--Publisher.
