The land is stingy, the Lords are merciless, and for the village women, resistance is a futile dream. One day, a foundling appears at the edge of the forest. Madelaine grows up to be mysterious, magnetic, and shockingly adept with an axe. One day, she slaughters a stag in defiance of the Lord’s decrees. The land, the laws, and the lives of those around her tremble in response, and a new destiny begins to take root. Madelaine Before the Dawn is a wild, lyrical novel about the inheritance of silence and the fire of female defiance. Collette has created an electrifying vision of revolt and resilience at the edge of civilization. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Far From The Madding Crowd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47795483738371,"sku":"9781787706170","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0404\/3207\/4914\/files\/9781787706170.jpg?v=1772035629","url":"https:\/\/www.maddingcrowdlinlithgow.com\/products\/9781787706170","provider":"Far From The Madding Crowd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
