My Thoughts-
Penelope Wilcock is a talented writer. I have enjoyed all the books in The Hawk and the Dove series. I was sad when I read the back of the book, and it said it was the end of the series. I have been drawn into each of the books, so I’m able to remember the monks from one book to another. It is inspiring to watch them learn from each other and God, then grow.
As I finished this book, I realized that in each of these books I have taken life lessons that were important in my life at the time. I learned about what each of the monks did in a typical day, but along the way they thought different things and sometimes had small conflicts with each other. Their lives aren’t that much different than ours in the 21st century. We need to be kind to others. We also shouldn’t focus on our weaknesses, but our strengths.
I would recommend this book and the rest of the series to others. There are life lessons and good information about 14th century monasteries.
