This dramatic coming-of-age novel is set in sixteenth-century England, during the chaotic years when Henry VIII stunned the royal court by setting his sights on Anne Boleyn. It’s also the tale of a man whom many believed to be a holy prophet . . . until a shocking truth is unearthed in the shadows of a centuries-old abbey.

This was okay. A historical novel set in Tudor England following a daughter of a clergy man of some sort. This book was sad and felt long and I didn't feel super connected.
But for people that want to learn more about this time period this might be the book for you.
