It is the year 1327. Franciscans in an Italian abbey are suspected of heresy, but …

5 stars

Big surprise, I loved this book. It was an entertaining yarn with humor and poignancy, insight and farce, accessible mystery and esoteric theology!

It is interesting that I read it now instead of years ago when I bought it. In that time between purchase and reading, I have read other works that prepared me for this!

Some books truly are better further along in one's reading career
