    About this ebook

    Germany 1505

    It is very shameful that children, especially defenceless young girls, are pushed into the nunneries. Shame on the unmerciful parents who treat their own so cruelly.' ’Martin Luther

    Following the death of her mother and her father’s remarriage, five-year-old Katharina is placed in the convent at Brehna. She will never see her father again.

    Sixty-five miles away, at Erfurt in Thuringia, Martin Luder, a promising young law student, turns his back on a lucrative career in order to become a monk.

    The consequences of their meeting on Easter Sunday 1523, reverberates down the centuries, throughout the Christian world.

    A compelling portrayal of Katharina von Bora, set against the turmoil of the Peasant’s War, the German Reformation and the controversial priest at its heart.

    ‘Margaret Skea has a brilliant eye for historical detail. She creates characters who take us by the hand so that we never stumble or wonder where we are. An engrossing read.’ Between the Lines.

    'A dramatic and most moving story, I loved it.’ Books Please

    'A wonderfully vivid portrait of how a headstrong girl grows into a wry, steely and impassioned woman, carves a path for herself through tumultuous times, and changes the course of history in the process. Skea knows her history, but more importantly, she writes with imagination and humanity.' Professor Alec Ryrie, Durham University, author of Protestants.
