Reviews

[marcus miller]

The story is set in the midst of the religious persecution of Anabaptists in the late 1500's to early 1600's of Amsterdam. Three characters realize they are fated to be discovered which means they will put to death either by drowning or by being burned at the stake. At times the book seems to become an excuse to preach a sermon rather than tell a story.

[SaraJane]

Hard topic to read about.

They knew they were going to be martyred. This is what they did.
