Not sure what to make of this book, which was our book club choice for February. Evidently it is a sort of character study of Marie de France, a 12th Century poet. It's rather ... languid, I guess, and self-consciously literary (I won't bother to link that article I link too much already). While I didn't dislike it, I am not sure I liked it, either. One interesting stylistic choice was a complete lack of dialogue, meaning there are no words put into quotations. I can't really recommend it, but it did make me want to read up on the real person who possibly inspired it.
