Staff Reviews

I absolutely loved this book. Alison, so-called Wife of Bath, pilgrim from The Canterbury Tales, in all her glory. This book presents the conditions that allowed for her creation and all the agitating she has done since, inspiring countless from Shakespeare to Zadie Smith.

— Arabella Peterson
