I was lucky to be approached by the author to read this well researched amd well written book. The author has spent a great deal of time reseaching her own family history which is in the attention to detail in her writing.
I thought I knew the subject but realised this was clearly not true, this is sad and it shocks to read about what people endured for religion (which sadly carries on throught the centuries). The author highlights the true and shocking prescution of protestants - which makes one makes the comparison of the Huguenots in France to the Nazi and prescution of the jews before and during world War 2. Although at times harrowing it is written in a great style of writing that the author has, and invites the reader to share her detailed family history and the history in general.
Recommended and I am now looking at the author's other work.
