About this book
At Lovell Tower in the spring of 1395, seventeen-year-old Margery moves between a busy kitchen and the illuminated prayer book she is copying. Her father has encouraged her education, and her ability to read and write wins admiration from the household servants. News of a visiting Oxford preacher draws her attention beyond recipes, embroidery and the routines of a knight's household. With Richard Pynson, her father's page, she goes to hear a sermon that explains Scripture in everyday language.
Emily Sarah Holt builds this historical story for younger readers around Christian belief and the demands of conscience. Domestic detail gives the religious questions a setting of food, clothing, books and family expectations. Later conversations connect devotion with affection and painful choices, offering readers a view of how faith shapes private life in fiction about medieval society.
