Three women bound together by the strands of fate
Charlotte-Rose de la Force, exiled from the court of the Sun King Louis XIV, has always been a great teller of tales.
Selena Leonelli, once the exquisite muse of the great Venetian artist Titian, is terrified of time.
Margherita, sold by her parents for a handful of bitter greens, is trapped in a doorless tower and burdened by tangles of her red-gold hair. She must find a way to escape.
Bitter Greens is a dark, beautifully written retelling of the Rapunzel tale, interwoven with the story of one of the tale's first tellers.
