Princess Bertha of Paris is shocked to learn of her impending marriage to the heathen king of Kent. But their barbaric world is dramatically changed by the coming of Augustine from Rome, on a mission to impress his hero, Pope Gregory the Great. As the new arrivals face hostility and murder, the powerful king sees a way of using Augustine to further his ambition. However, Bertha's eldest son is in league with the banished priests and she knows her husband's vengeance will be terrifying should he find out. In this Anglo-Saxon world on the threshold between pagan beliefs and Christianity, the feisty Bertha and the timorous Augustine form an unlikely alliance.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Moving and very instructive
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 23, 2014
    Sensitively written with a solid basis in history, we meet - and in some cases come to love - Queen Bertha, Pope Gregory, Archbishop Augustine and other key players. The hopes and fears which drive Augustine on his challenging mission to convert England and bring the old-school Christian Britons in Wales back into the Roman Church fold are clearly and vividly portrayed, as well as the harsh reality of life in the primitive, war-torn, pagan Land of Angels.
    We agonise over the violent hostility of the local priests of Woden, Thor et al and wonder at the narrow-minded legalism of Church practices.
    The wise hermit Piro (P.209ff) lights a promising spark which, unfortunately, doesn't succeed in softening the hearts of the representatives of the two Churches seeking reconciliation at their meeting by the river Severn.
    Altogether a moving and very instructive account of a significant period in the history of Britain.
