Product Description

1570 in the Italian city of Ferrara, and the convent of Santa Caterina is filled with noble women who are married to Christ because many cannot find husbands outside. Enter sixteen-year-old Serafina, ripped by her family from an illicit love affair, howling with rage and hormones and determined to escape. While on the other side of the great walls, counter-reformation forces in the Church are pushing for change, inside, Serafina's spirit and defiance ignite a fire that threatens to engulf the whole convent. SACRED HEARTS is a novel about power, creativity and passion - both of the body and of the soul. Hidden history brought alive by a wonderful storyteller, renowned for her Italian Renaissance novels.

Adding a few books to the shelf at Dolphin Café :-)

An excellent read!

This called out to me when I was releasing some others, and I'm now gripped by it, even though it doesn't fit with my reduce Mt TBR challenge!

This is a really good read, not sure how accurate all of the detail is historically, but didn't stop me enjoying it. I've passed it onto a friend who enjoys historical fiction.

Not a book I would have chosen but really enjoyed it. The detail really feeds the imagination. I was disappointed when I came to the end of the book. Thank you for sharing this book.
