A fantasy set in a twentieth-century England dominated by the Church of Rome and untouched by the Industrial Revolution.

What a good book this is! I listened to this on audio from Audible. The narration was outstanding. I probably enjoyed it more because of this. 

I thought the writing was rich and evocative, and the setting was compelling. 

I really loved everything about it.

1588: Queen Elizabeth is felled by an assassin's bullet. Within the week, the Spanish Armada had set sail, and its victory changed the course of history. 1968: England is still dominated by the Church of Rome. There are no telephones, no television, no nuclear power. As Catholicism and the Inquisition tighten their grip, rebellion is growing.
