![]() Canticle by Janet Rich EdwardsRelease date: Dec 2, 2025 A sixteen-year-old in thirteenth-century Bruges runs away from an unwelcome marriage only to find a new home amongst a group of religious women. The Beguines are strong-willed, independent women who have sworn themselves, not to the Church, but to a life of religious devotion. But there are those who do not appreciate women practicing religion outside the strict confines of the Church, and as tension grows between the Beguines and a bishop, Aleys and the women around her will have to plumb the depths of what it means to sacrifice for love. |
