Inner monologue of a Celtic pagan who becomes a Druid then a nun. I don‘t know why.
This is everything I hate in historical fiction. It started so strong, but quickly deteriorated. Did Horsley do any research for this book? It takes 3 minutes to find the real definition of Anam Cara, but she made it into a “confessor or authority on cleansing the soul.” Nope. Try again. She clearly has no idea what Christianity looked like in this period in Ireland.
👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
According to John O‘Donohue. 👆🏻
Anam Cara is a two way street. It‘s a relationship. It has nothing to do with authority, and the only cleansing of the soul part of this relationship is the ability to unburden the soul to this one friend.
Confessor is a one way street. It is all about authority. It is concerned with cleansing the soul by Roman means (torture in the time period of this book).
1. Yes, it‘s called panentheism and it is a key distinguishing feature of Christianity as it existed in the British isles, especially during the time this book is supposedly set in.
2. Yes, in fact, that is another key distinguishing feature of Christianity as it existed in this time period in the British isles.
These were two of the main points Rome was pissed at the British isles for. These beliefs existed until the turn of the 20th century.
Wow, not even close. Who is this author? This entire chapter has been a downhill tumble since the last quote I posted. WTF?! ... oh, an American author who writes historical fiction. Is this some of her historical fiction? She couldn‘t look up the real meaning of this word? She couldn‘t do her homework? This book is really making me cringe. I don‘t think I‘m going to be able to finish it. Sorry to everyone who loves it.
EXACTLY!!! I‘ve been saying this for years. I‘m still waiting for a logical answer.

Well, at least that‘s something. I think this has sadly been lost as an art.

I don‘t either, but I know it‘s not a sin to not revere a chronic liar.

I‘m not entirely sure how pagan she really is. There is a lot of “Lord Jesus Christ” going on.

This is so very true and why we must be so careful in how we educate our children.

She doesn‘t seem very happy about abandoning the old ways.

Clearly written by a writer and a lover of books.

This one seems rather interesting, so I‘m taking this one for a spin.
