About this book

Cloth bundles, village errands and news of a neighbour's death introduce life in the Weald of Kent in 1556. On the road between Staplehurst and Cranbrook, Alice Benden, Collet Pardue and Emmet Wilson discuss a widow's hardship, their households and the demands of the local priest. Emily Sarah Holt places this historical novel among families whose everyday concerns include earning a living, raising children and offering help to neighbours.

Religious pressure reaches into those family bonds. In a later conversation, Alice's niece Christabel asks Pandora for news of her aunt, while Roger Hall searches nearby villages and Canterbury. Pandora turns to biblical examples to offer comfort, but Christabel presses her with practical objections and questions about forgiving Uncle Edward. The dialogue gives readers a close view of belief under strain, with domestic affection and the difficulty of forgiveness at the centre of the story.
