![]() ![]() Joanna Stafford is a fascinating protagonist. The details of life in the 1500’s in a Dominican priory about to be closed by a ruthless king as well as the history of the religious order as it is dismantled by the King’s men added much to the atmosphere of mystery and intrigue. This is a page turner that held my interest for more than 400 pages. In The Crown by Nancy Bilyeau we find them all. England in the time of Henry VIII, a nun who attended Katherine of Aragon at the time of her death, several intriguing mysteries, a search for a crown which belonged to a king from the 900’s and a curse which is believed to have struck down several kings in their prime – each of these would make a great plot for a novel. ![]()
