Ruthiella Wow. I don‘t know if I could read this one again. I found it so very sad. 16h
bibliothecarivs @Ruthiella, it is sad but it's also beautifully written and Tess is such an inspiration. It's my favourite novel and I'm reading it with my wife and adult daughters for the first time. 11h

Amy and I received this as members of the Elizabethan England tour group led by the author in 2023.

This resonated with me. I was glad to find that the author's conclusions are based on scientific data and his experience as a counsellor and psychologist. I expected to learn skills to help me raise our son but didn't expect to also gain insights into how I was raised and how I can help other boys in my life. Recommended.

Orme admirably covered his huge topic. I learned so much. The book was beautifully designed by Yale University Press.

English Christianity in the mediaeval period has become a major fascination of mine. I asked Tudor historian Norman Jones for a recommendation and I'm so glad he suggested this.

CatLass007 I think I have this book, but I‘m not sure. It may be on a list of books. I want because I‘ve definitely seen the cover. I noticed Anam Cara in the background, a book that I know I have. Enjoy! 2mo
