Genre: Historical Fiction

A tragic loss. A desperate journey. A mother seeks the truth.
In December of 1377, four children were burned to death in a suspicious house fire. Villagers traveled hundreds of miles across England to demand justice.
Sinful Folk is the story of this terrible mid-winter journey as seen by Mear, a former nun who has lived for a decade disguised as a mute man, raising her son quietly in this isolated village. For years, she has concealed herself and all her history. But on this journey, she will find the strength to claim the promise of her past and create a new legacy. Mear begins her journey in terror and heartache, and ends in triumph and redemption.
The remarkable new novel by Ned Hayes, illustrated by New York Times bestselling author/illustrator Nikki McClure, Sinful Folk illuminates the medieval era with profound insight and compassion.

My Review:
This is a great historical novel that is based on an actual event. Which I really enjoyed. I also really liked that the author was true to the time period and that his research was evident in his writing. I love the Middle Ages and they are such an interesting time to read about. The beliefs and actions are so different then the ones that are practiced today. I loved that this book about the love of a child. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review via Book Review Buzz, however all opinions are my own.
