From the back cover
York, 1586. Margaret Clitherow, a butcher's wife of the Shambles, keeps the forbidden Mass alive in a hidden room above her husband's shop, sheltering the priests of a hunted Church. When the searchers come at last, she will not plead, and is sentenced to be pressed to death beneath a door.
Her confessor survives to write her life. But he carries a stranger burden, for he has always felt the wronged dead linger, and he is certain she will come to him. She never does. Across a year of silence, from the emptied rooms of York to an exile beyond the sea, he searches for a trace of her and finds nothing at all, until he learns, at a bitter price, what her silence means.
A novel of faith, of grief, and of the cost of a soul wholly given.
