Anonymous Review of The Dove and the Devil
Superbly written and obviously extremely well researched. The parallels with the modern world are quite alarming and show how devastating religious intolerance can be. For any who doubt the resolve of the Muslim fanatics that now threaten our world, a look at the 12th and 13th Century should provide a “wake up call” to what may be in store. Although a novel, it is based upon real events and demonstrates real attitudes that people who believed themselves to be good once held, and the brutality that ordinary people can inflict upon their neighbours if hypocrisy and extremism is left unchecked. A compelling read, with lessons about tolerance and a warning that society should heed as a matter of urgency. I look forward to the next instalment.
