Reviews
With a sure hand and a formidable amount of research, Peak brings to life the day-to-day realities of the monastery, its food and drink, its dress, and its duties tied to the seasons.... A vividly realized story of one boy's attempt to live a life of faith in a time of war. -- Starred Review "Kirkus Reviews"
The Oblate's Confession more than succeeds in recreating the Dark Ages in all their facets. Not since Rosemary Sutcliff's historical prowess has such a strong sense of the times succeeded in drawing this reader into a powerful historical saga. -- D. Donovan "MBR Bookwatch, October, 2014"
