Treason, Good Catholic Historical Fiction

Devin Rose at Ignitum Today joins a small and growing chorus of praise for the novel Treason, the acclaimed historical novel by the Ink Desk’s very own Dena Hunt. Rose recognizes the difficulty in writing historical fiction, especially when writing from a Catholic perspective.

Rose notes:

“Dena Hunt does a good job of portraying the political and religious situation in this time. Her characters and the narratives make this period come alive. I had known much of this persecution but reading about how it happened in a story-form brings it to life in ways nothing else can. Now I stand amazed that anyone remained Catholic during these centuries of persecution. And yet they did. In the face of death.”
