A highly-readable, well -researched book about Catholics in Elizabethan and Jacobean England. It carries lessons we still need today about religious tolerance and the dangers of state involvement in matters of conscience. #letterG #LitsyAtoZ & #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks @Texreader

Continuing my exploration of the Tudor period with this #doublespin choice. I bought it after hearing the author on a history panel discussing Henry VIII and enjoyed the last book I read by her (tagged in comments.) @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 4mo
TheBookHippie Oooo. Looks interesting! 4mo
Lcsmcat @TheBookHippie It is! Her research is extensive (and there are end notes to show it) but her style is accessible. And she often puts a feminist spotlight on the actions of the past without expecting Elizabethans to be from the 21st century, if you know what I mean. 4mo
TheBookHippie @Lcsmcat stacked! 🙃 4mo

I realized as I joined the discussion of this book that I had forgotten to review it. I felt this one started slowly (which was partially impacted by my lack of reading time), but once it got going I really enjoyed it. There were a lot of things going on in this one, but I also love those layers of complexity and history. I also really appreciate that we get to know characters more in the series, but the mysteries are unique.

Daisey Thanks again @dabbe for hosting this buddy read and getting me to revisit this series! 4mo
dabbe @Daisey YW! I have thoroughly enjoyed revisiting it as well. I also love how Sansom hits us with completely new mysteries but gets us to love the characters more and more--well, most of them anyway. 🤣😍🤩 4mo
