To my knowledge, there's just one other novel about beguines, 'Sisters Between: A Novel of the Beguines,' written in 2013 my Molly Connally. For those interested in diving into the history, I relied heavily on Walter Simons' 'Cities of Ladies: Beguine Communities in the Medieval Low Countries, 1200-1565' as background research (and Prof Simons was kind enough to correspond re. my many questions). An accessible history might be 'The Wisdom of the Beguines: The Forgotten Story of Medieval Women's Movement' by Laura Swan, published in 2016 (which you can get as a paperback). I find the beguines fascinating - I'm glad you do too!(less)
