MATRIX is a bold vision of female love, devotion and desire from one of the most adventurous writers at work today. She will bring herself, and her sisters, out of the darkness, into riches and power. Born last in a long line of women warriors and crusaders, women who flew across the countryside with their sword fighting and dagger work, Marie decides to chart a bold new course for the women she now leads and protects. Yet she deeply misses her secret lover Cecily and queen Eleanor. Marie is strange - tall, a giantess, her elbows and knees stick out, ungainly.Īt first taken aback by life at the abbey, Marie finds purpose and passion among her mercurial sisters. Seventeen-year-old Marie, too wild for courtly life, is thrown to the dogs one winter morning, expelled from the royal court to become the prioress of an abbey. I never thought I'd want to live in a 12th Century nunnery, but Matrix might have persuaded me otherwise.'
'Matrix is a fierce and compelling novel about female power, creativity and desire that turns everything you think you know about the 12th century on its head.
