Lily
Lily by Adele Geras is available at Global Books.
Part of Peter Ackroyd's "Brief Lives" series, this biography provides a sharp, insightful look at the life of Geoffrey Chaucer, the "father of English literature." Ackroyd reimagines the 14th-century world of a diplomat, courtier, and poet, tracing his journey from a vintnerâs son to the creator of The Canterbury Tales.
The book focuses on Chaucer's dual identity as a busy man of affairs and a visionary writer who helped establish the English vernacular as a legitimate literary tongue. Ackroyd vividly captures the atmosphere of medieval Londonâits smells, sounds, and social hierarchiesâwhile analysing how Chaucerâs keen observations of human nature continue to resonate in modern storytelling.
