Interesting take on religious culture.  Good book! I love the way the author incorporated nursery rhymes and folktales. When May Owens becomes an orphan and steals food to eat she is arrested. The recorder sentences her to be a sin eater. She now spends her days hearing people's death bed confessions. A sin eater is less then a servant so May hears many secrets even ones involving the royal family and her own birth. Well written.
