poet, mystic, widow, wife and romantic outlaws!!!! THIS IS SO HUGE FOR ME

If I ever get time to read again I’m desperate to get stuck into Mere by Danielle Giles and Starving Saints by Caitlin Starling. They both look phenomenal (and right up my street).

I had the LOVELIEST time chatting with @GoingMedieval about the Wife of Bath for @HistoryHit podcast Gone Medieval. You can listen here! https://t.co/rECoRvMaOk

I remember crying in a faculty meeting in Cambridge. Two thoughts. When I walked out (to disguise it) ,only one guy came out to find out if I was ok. I still remember, GH, thank you. The other is can’t we let people cry? Maybe it is the right reaction.
