Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Born just as the violent overthrow of the Catholic Church begins in 1527 Tudor England, Honor Larke is alternately pulled and pushed by her conscience: she wants to save heretics from burning, but desires to see her once beloved guardian, Thomas More, punished for his reforming ways. Meanwhile, Erasmus, Catherine of Aragon, Henry Tudor, Anne Boleyn and More himself charm, pummel and sweep their way through history. Fully grown, Honor meets and employs Thomas Thornleigh, a merchant and courtier who she vastly misjudges—at first. Firsthand experience with the horrors of persecution on both sides forces Honor into an unusual decision of where to put her faith. Compelling narrative and characterization make Kyle's debut comparable with the likes of Margaret George and Kathleen Windsor. (Aug.)

3.0 out of 5 stars Uneven Historical fiction, Jan 17 2009

By	Diane Johnston "tvor" (Dartmouth, Nova Scotia Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

First off, the main character, Honor, wasn't born in 1527 as the book description above seems to imply, the story starts in about 1517 when Honor is 7 then jumps forward 10 years. It's the story of a woman, Honor Larke, brought up as a ward of Thomas More and serving Queen Katherine of Aragon. She loses a childhood friend/protector to the heretic fires and, horrified, she goes through life holding bitterness and anger for the people she discovers were behind it, More in particular. She leads a double life, serving the Queen and working underground to rescue people accused of heresy and it becomes an obsession. It explores the rise of the Reformation and the back stabbing politics. She meets Richard Thornleigh who helps her with her reckless (as he sees it) plans and with whom she eventually falls in love. That doesn't go smoothly either.

It's not a bad read but near the last quarter it starts to get a bit heavy and sometimes preachy with too much philosopy that i ended up skipping over a bit. It's almost as if the last part of the book was written by someone else. It didn't have the same flow at all. Or maybe it's just me.
