James Morrow's new novel is an absolute delight. Described by Neal Stephenson as "A grand yarn about the clash of reason and superstition, set in a fascinating time..." it tells of one woman's crusade against an unjust law. Her Picaresque tale is one of high adventure, low comedy and level-headed reasoning and it takes the reader on an extremely pleasurable journey. Highly recommended.
