{"product_id":"lewis-terri-behold-the-bird-in-flight-9781647429102","title":"Behold the Bird in Flight","description":"For fans of Maggie O'Farrell, a coming-of-age story and a royal love triangle marked by danger and longing, based on real events in medieval France and England. Romantic and stubborn, eleven-year-old Isi plans to marry for love and be mistress of her own castle. But life in 1198 is full of threat and a series of tragic events teaches her growing up is hard. When Isi falls for Hugh, a French nobleman, he consents to marry her, but only for her dowry. She longs for more. Hoping a jealous man will fall in love, she flirts with a king. The flirtation backfires: King John abducts and marries her. Now trapped in cold, warring England with a malicious husband, Isi must hide her yearning for Hugh and find her own power. If she fails, she won't live to return to her beloved. Inspired by real historical figures--Isabelle d'Angoulême, Hugh de Lusignan, and King John of Magna Carta fame--Behold the Bird in Flight is set in a period that valued women only for their dowries and childbearing. Isabelle's story has been mainly erased by men, but the medieval chronicles suggest a woman who developed her own power and wielded it. And as the woman behind the throne, who's to say she didn't influence history?","brand":"She Writes Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53713094082902,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781647429102_1.jpg?v=1778874264","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/lewis-terri-behold-the-bird-in-flight-9781647429102","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
