The Observer has named Learwife the Best Debut Novelist of 2021! This captivating book has been praised for its seductive and gorgeous writing, offering a fresh perspective on an age-old tale. The Irish Times describes it as a "breathtaking novel of loss, renewal, and how history bleeds into the present."
The story follows Lear's queen, who has been exiled to a nunnery and written out of history. Now, she can tell her story. Despite her grief and rage, she knows she must seek answers to the questions that have haunted her for years. Why was she sent away in shame and disgrace? What has happened to Kent, her oldest friend and ally? And what will become of her now, in this place of women?
To find peace, she must reckon with her past and make a terrible choice that will have far-reaching consequences for her destiny and the entire abbey. Learwife gives an unforgettable voice to a woman whose absence has been a tantalizing mystery, and it is a must-read for anyone who loves historical fiction with a modern twist.
