Chaucer’s “Wife of Bath” tale reimagined as being told by the good wife herself.

Had I previously read “The Canterbury Tales”, I’m sure I’d have enjoyed “The Good Wife of Bath” even more. My failing didn’t detract from how enjoyable the book was, however. It’s an interesting, nicely written novel grounded in historical detail, and was a sublime pairing to my concurrent play-through of “Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2”.

Some sections felt a little overlong for my tastes, making it harder for me to keep focus, but overall I found it an engaging read.
