This book was good for what it was, and I enjoyed most of it. It‘s very much a story of a woman completely devoting her life to her husband and God, sometimes to her own detriment. A few scenes where she feels guilty for wanting more from Luther were tough for my 21st century perspective. I appreciate that Katharine‘s story and work is acknowledged through this book. I‘m still most intrigued by the escape of the nuns.

This book is from my grandma‘s bookshelf. It‘s a historical fiction published in 1959 about Katharine, the runaway nun who became the wife of Martin Luther. I started the first few chapters this evening and was more entertained than I expected to be.
