The Heretic's Wife: A Novel | Brenda Rickman Vantrease
1 post | 1 read | 5 to read
From the bestselling author of The Illuminator comes a magnificent tale about the power of love and the perils of faith Tudor England is a perilous place for booksellers Kate Gough and her brother John, who sell forbidden translations of the Bible. Caught between warring factions—English Catholics opposed to the Lutheran reformation, and Henry VIII's growing impatience with the Pope's refusal to sanction his marriage to Anne Boleyn—Kate embarks on a daring adventure that will lead her into a dangerous marriage and a web of intrigue that pits her against powerful enemies. From the king's lavish banquet halls to secret dungeons and the inner sanctums of Thomas More, Brenda Rickman Vantrease's glorious new novel illuminates the public pageantry and the private passions of men and women of conscience in treacherous times.

I read this a couple of weeks ago after finding it second hand. It is a fictional story about the wife of a real man who helped translate the first English Bible. It goes along with Tudor history and is another element to all the world changing things that were going on at that time. I loved it.
