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. So damned readable and fun...This is the story of a woman fighting for her rights it breaches the walls of history.--The Australian 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.
