When I picked this book up in the library I honestly thought I was going crazy wanting to read this. Oh, how I was wrong. This book is something really awesome. I don't know how to describe my relationship with it. Just imagine that back in the day it got on the list of forbidden literature. It was just telling the truth about the catholic church and how it worked back then. Pointing out it's flaws and mistakes…
I am an atheist. I can't say that I can't deny the existence of God, but nor can I prove it. Despite that this book really spoke to me in it's own unique way and I loved it.
Sometimes the naivity of the main heroin (yes, the main character is a girl - how amazing for that time) drove me crazy, but even that supported the cruelty of the regime back then. If I gave this book anything less than 5 stars I would be lying not only to everyone seeing it, but also to myself.
