Description
A beautifully crafted historical novel set in 14th-century England, The Illuminator brings to life a pivotal moment in history. In a time of great turmoil, Finn is a master illuminator who works for the Church and secretly supports John Wycliffe's radical idea that the Bible should be translated into English. Finn's life becomes increasingly complicated when he meets Lady Kathryn, a widow fighting to protect her inheritance from those in power. As their alliance deepens, it takes him to the heart of the tumultuous 14th century. Richly detailed and compelling, this story explores themes of love, art, religion, and treachery against the backdrop of a pivotal moment in history. With its richly detailed setting and complex characters, The Illuminator is a gripping tale that will keep you turning the pages.
