pickThis is a fascinating book, fully illustrated with colour photographs (and a few reproductions of pamphlets and such, though these are generally too small to see much detail). Some of the ways in which these “catacomb saints“ are decorated are amazing to see, just in terms of craft.
Not one I read because I venerate saints, and probably a little too academic/secular to please those who do.
“Arguments were best indulged in and dispensed with while the sun shone. Things were quieter at night. Hurtful words hurt more, and doubts cut more deeply.”
“In the darkness, we find ourselves. But it's up to us to decide if we want to embrace the light.”
Loved this trilogy on audio - good narration.

pickSee, there was a reason beyond being poor I never went on a French class trip to Paris!! 😰
A recent read but I‘d rate it a 3.0 out of 4. Reasons: Surface crush was an unless character. Adds nothing & currently sports an unattractive military skinhead.🧑🦲 Beyond that it is scary but it could have been much better; the premise ended up being in the realm of ridiculous.
But a good read if you‘re in the mood for a YA thriler. 🕵️♂️💀💀💀
