It was brutal, even to the point of grotesque at times. The way people had to live and were treated. It sure sounds like an interesting read though.<br /><br />Dottie :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08688849410604429533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-64288087516266001322009-07-27T22:21:59.205+03:002009-07-27T22:21:59.205+03:00Dar,

Or that they don't have it in Canada yet since it was published in England.<br />A very different read for me.<br /><br />Okboklover,<br />Same with me, you never know how much the book will be preaching for one thing. Here it was just about this one saint that is not real. And I liked that dimension. Certainly a different view on a period of time that authors sure love to write about.<br /><br />Hodge,<br />Well they did behead Anne Boleyn, so I should have expected it. Heads on pikes, burning people and all that.

It certainly is a different view on things during that time period (I don't read much about the clergy for fear or overbearing religious tones.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-54776716676752641742009-07-27T18:35:23.424+03:002009-07-27T18:35:23.424+03:00I remember when you first mentioned this book I wa...I remember when you first mentioned this book I was interested in it. After your review I'm even more so. I think though that it was one I couldn't find here. I'll have to look again.

I am not that keen on picking up contemporary ones, well there are exceptions like chick-lit, and a bunch of others.Blodeueddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435479623560871881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-38512133099614380542009-07-27T13:57:27.016+03:002009-07-27T13:57:27.016+03:00I like historicals, but I don't tend to pick t...I like historicals, but I don't tend to pick them first. I normally only read them when I can't find anything else.

This books sounds pretty interesting. I'm glad that it wasn't overly religious, as those have a way of turning me off.
