Botille and her two sisters end up taking Dolssa in, hiding her away and their friendship begins to unfold and take shape throughout the novel. Botille is the town matchmaker who crosses paths with Dolssa and her relationship with her two sisters is hilarious, realistic and so refreshing. Told mainly through the perspectives of a 17 year old girl named Botille, and on the odd occassion, Dolssa, we follow and learn about their journey as Dolssa is labelled a heretic, manages to escape her execution, and calls Jesus her "beloved".
This book was so engaging, wonderfully written and overall, was absolutely mesmerising and I could not put it down. Although I didn't really know what to expect, as the plot itself is quite difficult to put into words, I was pleasantly surprised to find this was an incredibly well written and fascinating historical fiction set in medieval France/Spain in the 1200s.
