Dr J does it again
It will be a chilly day in the afterlife, when Dr J writes a book I don't love, and The Private Lives of Saints has maintained that status quo.
I did find the book a slow and heavy read, but it was also fascinating and informative and brought to life names of saints I'd been aware of since childhood and illuminated the rise of monastic life in the early mediaeval period.
Overall this is a fascinating book, suitable for scholars and not, which touches on an important but often ignored bit of history.
