review 1: Is this historical fiction or romance? The author couldn't decide. A relatively good story that seems to hold to historical facts fairly well. Other than learning about John Frith as a very minor character associated with William Tyndale, there was nothing new to me. What I liked: nicely formed characters, good story lineWhat I didn't like: foreshadowing that hits the reader like a hammer.I skipped all the parts about Anne Boleyn & Henry VIII. Philippe Gregory wrote them much better. I hadn't finished reading the book before the book club discussion but I knew that Kate & Tom would end up married. Maybe this is a romance novel.
review 2: I just watched a bbc documentary about William Tyndale (the most dangerous man in tudor england) so this book helped flesh ou... moret what life was like in that time for these men. Intrigue, courage and a little romance thrown in this telling. The book follows the fictional Kate Gough who marries Biblical scholar and Tyndale friend John Frith. It is so sad yet inspiring to read about the lives of these men and women who worked to put the word of God into laymen's hands. The book also intersperses the stories of Thomas More, Henry VIii, Anne Boleyn and other players of the day. less
