Description

The Printz Honor winner that garnered five starred reviews and was hailed by the New York Times as "magnificent"!

Dolssa is an upper-crust city girl who's been branded a heretic, on the run from the friar who condemned her mother to death by fire and wants Dolssa executed, too. Botille is a matchmaker and a tavern-keeper, struggling to keep herself and her sisters on the right side of the law in their seaside town. When their lives collide by a dark riverside, Botille rescues a dying Dolssa and conceals her in the tavern, where an unlikely friendship blooms. Aided by her sisters and Symo, her surly but loyal neighbor, Botille nurses Dolssa back to health and hides her from her pursuers. But all of Botille’s tricks, tales, and cleverness can’t protect them forever, and when the full wrath of the Church bears down upon them, Dolssa’s passion and Botille’s good intentions could destroy the entire village.

From the author of the critically acclaimed and award-winning All the Truth That's in Me comes a spellbinding thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the final page and make you wonder if miracles really are possible.

Wow! "The Passion of Dolssa" was really just as amazing as "All the truth that's in me" even though the two stories are not similar at all. This book is both absolutely magical and enchanting, as well as so real and convincing. I loved the Flasucra sisters and I really felt like I truly got to know them. There is so much humour in the story, whereas there is also the shockingly realistic cruelty of the church back in medieval times. The writing style is just like Dolssa very lovely and basically forces you to continue reading. I'm sorry for absolutely failing at truly expressing my love for this novel but it is there and it is huge. I deeply recommend it for everyone looking for a both light and dark story, with a lot of passion conveyed indeed, great characters and heavenly spirit.
