The Apostates by V E H Masters
From the WINER of the Barbara Hammond Trophy
It's 1550 and Bethia has fled Antwerp, with her infant son, before the jaws of the inquisition clamp down, for the family are accused of secret judaising. She believes they've evaded capture but her husband, Mainard, unbeknownst to her, is caught, imprisoned and alone.
Reaching Geneva, Bethia hopes for respite from a dangerous journey, but it's a Protestant city state which tolerates no dissent - and she's a Catholic. And why has Mainard not come?
Perhaps he's already reached Venice where Jews can live openly and the Virgin smiles benignly from every corner. yet, soon she will discover, much is hidden beneath the smooth waters of this perilous city.
Masters, V. E. H.: - VEH Masters was born and brought up on a farm a few miles outside St Andrews, Scotland. The first time she ever visited St Andrews Castle was aged 12, when her history teacher took the class on a school trip. They crept down the siege tunnel and peered into the bottle dungeon, where Cardinal Beaton's body was said to have been kept pickled in salt. She was hooked! The Castilians, her debut novel, tells the story of how the Cardinal's body ended up in the dungeon and why the siege tunnel was built.
