The Barefoot Girl: A Novel of St. Margaret, Patroness of the Abused
reviewed on + 3 more book reviews


I'm drawn in by women who've been badly treated and come out ahead in the end. This is one of those books. It's heartwarming and gives you a sense of what women endured when they had no social supports or means of existing outside the realm of marriage or religion. The main character is a strong girl who grows into an even stronger woman after much male abuse.
