Description

Lent, a novel by Jo Walton, is a magical re-imagining of fifteenth-century Florence. Young Girolamo's life is marked by miracles, including his ability to see demons and cast them out with his will. He befriends Pico della Mirandola and has an unexpected encounter with Charles VIII of France, convincing him to spare Florence. Girolamo's life is full of surprises, from the deathbed of Lorenzo "the Magnificent" being wreathed in celestial light to crowds swooning when he preaches. Despite the Pope's attempts to bring him under control, Girolamo remains on the loose and effectively runs Florence. However, this is only the beginning of Girolamo's story, as he discovers the truth about himself at a surprising time. This revelation marks just one of many lives that Girolamo will experience.
