| book description |

THREE WOMEN BOUND TOGETHER BY THE STRANDS OF FATE Charlotte-Rose de la Force, exiled from the court of the Sun King Louis XIV, has always been a great teller of tales. Selena Leonelli, once the exquisite muse of the great Venetian artist Titian, is terrified by the passing of time. Margherita, sold by her parents for a handful of bitter greens, is trapped in a doorless tower and burdened by tangles of her red-gold hair. She must find a way to escape. Bitter Greens is a dark, beautifully written retelling of Rapunzel, interwoven with the story of one of the tale's first tellers.
