Description:
New York.: Viking Books., 1975. Hard cover. Good in good dust jacket. Short chips, edge wear to jacket. Moderate page block foxing. Tight binding. Clean covers.. West, Lynda (Jacket design by).. 1 Cloth and paper over boards. 326 p. Maps. Genealogy chart. Audience: General/trade. Set in 6th century Gaul w/ maps, genealogy chart, a civilization existed where women lived short, brutish lives. If they did not die of plague or in childbirth, "rape or death at the hands of conquering armies often awaited them" (from front jacket flap). On the upside, a German princess, Ragegunda, tragically sees her family murdered, then is raised by, and later married to her captor, the Frankish king Clotair. Then, Ragegunda escapes from the court to found a convent, a haven for women like herself. Designed to be a place of poetry and calm. That story changes. There will be religious, and carnal fervor. And women in the convent wall.
