Erg genoten van dit boek. Knap hoe Chavalier historische feiten en verschijnselen combineert tot een fictief verhaal. Je wil meteen op reis naar Winchester. Prachtig voorgelezen door Fenella Woolgar.

I enjoyed this book very much, although it also made me sad sometimes for all the injustice done to the surplus women back then. The story is beautifully performed by Fenella Woolgar.
