Penelope Wilcock / The Hawk and the Dove (the Hawk and the Dove, Series One)

Product Description

'A wonderful writer, a wonderful read.' Liz Curtis Higgs, New York Times bestselling author The Hawk and the Dove series centres around the fictional Benedictine monastery of St Alcuin's, in Yorkshire, and is set in the fourteenth century. The intimidating Father Peregrine is appointed Abbot of St Alcuin?s. The responsibility will test his vocation to the limit. Peregrine is a capable but arrogant, impatient man, a hawk trying hard to be a dove, whose struggles to manifest a character suitable for an abbot drive the narrative. Peregrine is surrounded by a company of flawed, very human monks who are - for the most part - also serious about their calling, and who - again for the most part - come to love their driven and hard-driving leader. They lived six centuries ago, yet their challenges are our own: finding our niche; coping with failure; living with impossible people; and discovering that we are the impossible ones. The series continues with The Wounds of God.
