@SilverSalmonAK thanks for this review! I’m intrigued by medieval social history too. Also loved #ADistantMirror (switched back and forth between print and the delightful narrator #WandaMcCaddon) and there’s no one like #BarbaraTuchman for making history come alive! #medieval #bookstodon #histodon #history #nonfiction

She certainly could write... From A Distant Mirror (1978) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Distant_Mirror

Curious what historians think about Barbara Tuchman today?

Also, trying to decide if Catherine of Siena is more goth or more metal for believing Jesus gave her his foreskin to wear as a wedding ring, presumably at their wedding which was officiated by his mother.
