Sisters of Arden:
On the Pilgrimage of Grace
"Far from the concourse of men..."
Arden Priory has remained unchanged for almost four hundred years when a nameless child is abandoned at the gatehouse door. As Henry VIII’s second queen dies on the scaffold, the embittered King strikes out, and unprecedented change sweeps across the country. The bells of the great abbeys fall silent, the church and the very foundation of the realm begins to crack.
Determined to preserve their way of life, novitiate nuns Margery and Grace join a pilgrimage thirty thousand strong to lead the king back to grace.
Sisters of Arden is a story of valour, virtue and veritas.
'Arnopp’s insight and extensive and faultless research shines'
Praise for Sisters of Arden:
“What happened to the sisters and those who worked at the monasteries when Henry VIII purged the Catholic churches? This novel was a vivid story of people enduring starvation, homelessness, and fear for their lives because a King wanted way more than his share.”
~ P. Austin Heaton, 5* Amazon Review
“I have always enjoyed books about the Tudor period and this one dealing about the destruction of the monasteries was fascinating to me. I highly recommend this book.”
~ Miss Lyn, 5* Amazon Review
“I liked this book very much and would most definitely recommend to anyone who likes well-written, authentic fiction based on fact about this period. ”
~ Terry Tyler, 4.5* Amazon Review
