From a review by The Chicago Public Library Staff:
"Set in 12th-century Europe, Matrix was inspired by Marie de France, the first known female French poet. There is very little known about Marie de France, but Groff has constructed a vivid and sensual novel of what her life may have been. Eleanor of Aquitaine has thrown the teenage Marie out of court and installed her in an impoverished English abbey with a handful of nuns. The shrewd and ambitious Marie slowly begins to transform the dire place into something formidable and flourishing, first by collecting unpaid rents and later, after years as its abbess, by constructing an impenetrable labyrinth around the convent. Centered on women's power, creativity and desire in an unlikely time and place, Groff's historical novel is captivating."
