Description
The Dance Tree by Kiran Millwood Hargrave is a haunting and beautiful novel that weaves together the stories of women with raw emotion and sensitivity. Against a backdrop of claustrophobic horror, female courage and resilience shine brightly.
In 16th-century France, a lone woman begins to dance in the city square, drawing hundreds of other women into her movement. As the men running the city declare a state of emergency, Lisbet's quiet life is upended by the arrival of her sister-in-law, Nethe, who has been serving a penance in the mountains for a crime no one will name.
Lisbet becomes caught in a dangerous web of deceit and clandestine passion as she tries to uncover the truth about Nethe's past. Like the women of Strasbourg, Lisbet is dancing to a tune that threatens to destroy her. This gripping historical novel is a spellbinding tale of fear, transformation, courage, and love.
