Enjoyed the audiobook.

My favorite from January was this excellent medieval fiction which is sort of adjacent to The Canterbury Tales. I loved this book so much. Medieval fiction is my favorite. I loved the perspective on how life could have been for women during the 1300‘s. It was so entertaining to me. I just felt like I was THERE, right in the story.

Thank you for hosting #12Booksof2023, @Andrew65!

I really enjoyed this. It's a highlight of my year. I read it in the morning for 20 to 40 minutes and relished it, reading only six or so pages at a sitting, for about 3 months.

I loved the humor, the language, the tone, the poetry of sound (and spelling), and the linguistic play. I‘m looking forward to Canterbury Tales.
