Review: Sinful Folk exciting, great writing
Really enjoying this book — I thought it would be slow, moving back into the middle ages, but instead this is really fast moving, exciting and interesting. I keep wondering how this woman kept herself hidden for all these years, and how in the world she managed to keep herself alive. Every other chapter, I’m wondering how she isn’t dead yet. But she’s smart, inventive, misses nothing — and she’s close-mouthed and shy. (A lot like me!) Great writing, interesting medieval perspective. I just hope she stays alive to the end of the book! — Anne Stanford on GoodReads http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12401599-sinful-folk
Review: Sinful Folk fascinating, great read!
Reading this book prior to release…. great read! Interesting story, fascinating medieval landscape, and amazing characters. If you liked Pillars of the Earth or Year of Wonders, you’ll like this book. Also, seems a lot like The Red Tent, for people who loved that interwearving of history and ideas and women’s stories. — Ed Wheeler on GoodReads http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12401599-sinful-folk
Ten years ago, Michaelmas. Summer hours fading into dusk, day dying slow. I had fallen out of the straight path into a place of harsh rocks and broken brambles, like the legend tells Satan fell from heaven on St. Michael’s Day. But I had fallen from no heaven, and those who pursued me were no angels.
A fog of pain overwhelms me, the world is turned all wrong. I will discover who did this, I will find the truth.
Yet as I struggle to catch up with the cart, I know that I am going only because my son is going away. My whole life is contained in that tortured, blackened husk. My child.
Where else would I go, but with him?
The novel Sinful Folk is the story of a mother who carries a hidden secret and a terrible grief. In December of the year 1377, the village of Duns in northeast England suffered a great tragedy.
