Description
In 1347, Elea Blanchet is a respected midwife and herbalist, but she must act cautiously – it takes little to end up like her mother. However, when she accidentally meets the renowned personal physician of the Pope, Guy de Chauliac, she receives an unexpected opportunity to become his apprentice. Her new world, full of knowledge and prestige, is soon threatened by the plague ravaging Europe. Moreover, Queen Joanna of Naples, accused of murdering her husband, arrives in Avignon, and Elea becomes her midwife. As the plague progresses and fear grips the city, a witch hunt begins – and Elea finds herself in danger. The historical novel Eleanora of Avignon is a gripping and remarkable story about a woman who refuses to accept the limitations of her time, showing that it is always worth resisting the odds.
