Rise and Read Book Club

 Two-time National Book Award finalist Groff travels back to the 1100s to tell the story of Marie de France, a 17-year-old reject from the court of Eleanor of Aquitaine, who is made prioress of a failing abbey in England. The sisters are ill and starving, but the initially startled Marie commits wholly to their care and mission as she leads them through a tumultuously changing world.
