Title: Catholic Historical Fiction During the Time of Henry VIII
Review: This is one of the greatest books written by Robert Hugh Benson during his short life. He incorporates Church history, world history, romance, intrigue, vocations, martyrdom, war, and family into a breathtaking historical novel. The setting is in 16th-century England. The story revolves around the gradual destruction of the monasteries by King Henry VIII and the effects of this destruction on the priests, nuns, and families that held fast to the Faith of their Fathers. The book will hold your complete attention right up to the climatic ending in the Tower of London. There are many parallels to our times.
