MATRIX : THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER SHORTLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD 2021 'Lush, gripping and ferocious, MATRIX is animated with sensual detail on every page' MADELINE MILLER 'An audacious piece of storytelling, full of passion, wisdom and magic' SARAH WATERS 'MATRIX is a gorgeous, sensual, addictive read' SARA COLLINS __________________________________ Seventeen-year-old Marie, too wild for courtly life, is thrown to the dogs one winter morning, expelled from the royal court to become the prioress of an abbey.
