A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century
by Barbara W. Tuchman
A wonderfully detailed and engaging look at 14th century France. I studied the Middle Ages during college, so I had some basic understanding of the time period, but Tuchman brought out so many of the little details and personalities that make the century come to (horrifying) life. Unless you like chaos, meaningless wars, and plague, you don't want to visit!
The narrator of the audio book made the reading much easier - providing the proper French pronunciation and even a bit of humor into the reading.
