14th Century France and Ancient Greece

I checked out two books from the library and will be returning them today.

The Palace of Eros by Caro De Robertis. It is a post-feminist, LGBTQ+ retelling of the Eros and Psyche store. The narration alternates between Psyche’s first person and Eros’s third person limited. The author uses Greek mythology to explore threats to 21st century gender expression and identify

Eleanore of Avignon by Elizabeth DeLozier. This is first-person narration from a woman who wants to become a physician but is limited by society rules and gender expectations and limitations.
