Titel: A Wife There Was
Auteur: Gloria Cigman
ISBN: 9781425114732
Conditie: Goed

'Alison,' says her father, 'will be brought up as a boy.'


But this unwanted daughter is her own person.

A rebellious child, then a feisty woman.

challenging all male authority,

scorning the church's ideals of virginity and chastity,

embracing avidly the forbidden pleasures of sexuality.

Many husbands come her way - some by chance, some by choice.

So too does love - at its best, at its worst.


Born into a turbulent age

of never-ending war, relentless bubonic plague,

political unrest and fierce heresy-hunting,

Alison is very much a 14th century woman.


And yet...

her resilience and survival are timeless


Her life is haunted by conflict

between robust carnality

and a yearning for the serenity of spirituality

that she never finds. The years bring bleak inner journeys darkened by

sorrow and loss and buried secrets.


And yet, and yet...

come what may, Alison's abounding joy

is a light that never dims for long.
