Bitter Greens by Kate Forsyth
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.
'I so enjoyed Kate Forsyth's Bitter Greens: a fabulously tangled web of fairy tale and historical romance.. Heartbreaking. Exquisitely sensual.' Essie Fox, author of The Somnambulist. 'History and fairy tale are richly entwined in this spellbinding story. Unputdownable!' Juliet Marillier, author of Daughter of the Forest
