Матінка

Mari de Frans bulo lyshe simnadt͡si͡atʹ, koly ïï vyhnaly z korolivsʹkoho dvoru. Debeliĭ baĭstri͡ucht͡si hodylosi͡a buty ne prydvornoi͡u ledi, a prioresoi͡u v bidnomu anhliĭsʹkomu abatstvi. Tak voleli͡ubna Mari opynylasi͡a u sviti, de panui͡utʹ poslukh, obov"i͡azok ta molytva. "Matinka" - t͡se zakhoplyva istorii͡a pro ambitnu ta chutti͡evu<br>prioresu, henialʹnu stratehyni͡u, dyplomatku, poetku, zakhysnyt͡si͡u z͡hinok, u dushi i͡akoï<br>prorosla vira. Nasampered - vira v sebe.

Marie de France was only seventeen when she was expelled from the Royal Court. A well-fed bastard was not supposed to be a court lady, but a Priora in a poor English Abbey. So freedom-loving Marie found herself in a world where obedience, duty and prayer reign. "Mother" is a fascinating story about an ambitious and sensual
prior, a brilliant strategist, diplomat, poet, defender of women, in whose soul
faith has sprouted. First of all — self-belief.
