This book managed to make a distant historical event feel deeply personal. The heartbreak of the lives of the characters was made clear, and contextualizing them historically gave a better idea as to what life may have looked like for the people living in this period and sphere of the world. Understanding the plight of these four women in a time in which women were regarded lowly by the church and cultural climate was fascinating, especially going in depth as to how they coped.
