Synopsis from Amazon:
A tragic loss. A desperate journey. A mother seeks the truth.
In December of 1377, four children were burned to death in a house fire. Villagers traveled hundreds of miles across England to demand justice for their children's deaths.
Sinful Folk is the story of this terrible mid-winter journey as seen by Mear, a former nun who has lived for a decade disguised as a mute man, raising her son quietly in this isolated village. For years, she has concealed herself and all her history. But on this journey, she will find the strength to redeem the promise of her past. Mear begins her journey in terror and heartache, and ends in triumph and transcendence.
The remarkable new novel by Ned Hayes, illustrated by New York Times bestselling author / illustrator Nikki McClure, Sinful Folk illuminates the medieval era with profound insight and compassion.

ReplyDeleteThis really is one of my favorite books. The plot and characters kept me intrigued from Page 1, and I feel like I've learned something about this historical era. The fact that it's based on a true incident makes the story even more compelling.
DeleteWell the synopsis has me hooked and your teaser just added to the intrigue. It really has it all, a nun disguised as a man, does her son know? and the mysterious burning of the villagers children...

The cover is so unusual! I read it on my Kindle too.
DeleteI am so excited to see this! I started reading this from NetGalley, but was not able to finish in time, so I'd love to have a copy! luann(dot)braley(at)gmail(dot)com. I prefer print books but PDF's or e-pubs are good too!
ReplyDeleteOh, no! I can't imagine not being able to finish this book! I stayed up later than I should because I couldn't put it down.
DeleteVery interesting teaser. I wonder why they're burning the tree or if it was some sort of accident? Perhaps just a fire to gather around. Definitely feeling teased. :)
ReplyDeleteThey were freezing -- literally -- and needed the warmth from the fire to survive.
DeleteI'm in love with the cover art and your teaser choice was excellent. Would be thrilled to win the paperback or mobi ebook.
