⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐ Well-written and engaging. A strong novel, just not my personal favorite. - Henry D.

The Last Abbot of Glastonbury: A Tale of the Dissolution of the Monasteries by A. D. Crake is a historical novel that intricately explores the tumultuous period of the English Reformation. Set against the backdrop of the dissolution of monasteries under King Henry VIII, the story centers on the last abbot of Glastonbury, a bastion of faith and learning that faces imminent destruction. Crake vividly brings to life the abbot’s struggles to protect the monastery, its monks, and the treasures of knowledge and spirituality within its walls. As political intrigue, betrayal, and moral dilemmas unfold, the narrative captures the clash between faith and the unfolding tides of modernity. The novel not only highlights the personal sacrifices of the abbot and his followers but also reflects on the broader implications of faith in a rapidly changing world. With rich character development and profound historical context, Crake invites readers to contemplate the enduring struggle between tradition and progress.
