The Burning Time by Robin Morgan
4.0
I went into this expecting something slightly dry because it's based in history, and ended up with something completely different (and better.)
Coming from a standpoint of someone who left the church a long time ago, this book strikes home on levels I didn't predict. At first I hated the bishop, and then by the end I loved his scenes because they were such a perfect description of men of the church and the church's entitlement to what they see as theirs.
I thought I'd love Alyce the most, and ended up thoroughly loving the other characters more. The entire group as one is almost a character in itself.
