Sybille, Paperback / softback Book

Sybille Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

In thirteenth-century France, a female poet endures the chaos of the Albigensian Crusade in this novel by the author of Eleanor of Aquitaine. A holy war is sweeping France, razing cities and destroying the peaceful lives of those considered heretics. Sybille d’Astarac, born to pampered luxury, is a gifted female troubadour.

But her poems grow dark as the Catholic crusade seeks to eradicate her sect.

In the face of massacre, can Sybille survive the Inquisition?

Will her love songs? A work of stunning historical fiction, Sybille displays Marion Meade's pitch‑perfect understanding of strong women facing the harsh realities of life in medieval times.

As Robin Morgan, author of The Anatomy of Freedom, writes, this book is “an inspiration for women and an illumination for all readers.”
