The Words She Carried is a philosophical-historical novel that follows a young woman's struggle to survive, to rise above her station, and to educate herself at a time when, for poor and solitary women and men, such ambition was nigh impossible to fulfill, echoing the tragic inequality that persists across much of the world today. The novel is set in post-medieval southern France, beneath the long shadow of the Wars of Religion, the French-Spanish War, and the Inquisition and its witch persecutions.
