Why it's in the Cabin
The novel which led to Yourcenar being the first woman elected to the Académie française. It's a deeply philosophical and historically rich text, meditating on the human spirit's quest for understanding in a world teetering between old beliefs and new revelations.

Author
Marguerite Yourcenar
An absolute favourite of ours. Yourcenar's take on the historical novel was deeply original; less about the events and the accuracy, and more about delving into the spirit of a time, and the forces at play in times of change and upheaval.
