The Book of Boy

 Novel by Catherine Gilbert Murdock.

This was a fast, utterly absorbing read. Part historical fiction, set in France and Rome in the year 1350, it discusses pilgrims, relics, superstitions, and the plague. But this was also part supernatural/religious fantasy, presenting an interesting take on Heaven, hell, and angels. My religious beliefs are clearly different from the author’s, but I did love Boy and his determination to be good and do good in the world.
