It is interesting that in the discussions of Anya Seton all month, that a very important aspect of all her books is the character's religious awakening, especially powerful in Katherine and The Winthrop Woman. While Katherine is happy in her final marriage for her childrens' sake, her ultimate contentment begins with a religious epiphany during the great crisis of her life. In Devil Water, both Earls of Derwentwater are in the end defined by their Catholicism. Elizabeth Winthrop likewise is inspired by a spiritual experience after much searching and rebellion against the Puritan dogma. I'm surprised no one has mentioned it because it's an essential ingredient of every Anya Seton novel. Seton handles the characters religious sensibilities in a very even handed and interesting way.panavia999https://www.blogger.com/profile/12022750065016664499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944570901299649958.post-15289931899536143842010-06-22T12:05:33.164+01:002010-06-22T12:05:33.164+01:00THis is such a good book as I remember - I read it...THis is such a good book as I remember - I read it a good 10 or 15 years ago but really enjoyed it<br /><br />thanks for sharing your thoughts<br /><br />Happy Tuesday<br /><br />HannahHannah Stonehamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11139146341592918233noreply@blogger.com
