This is a book of fiction. Historical references are accurate, as well as a quote from Mischief in Fez, a published book by Eleanor Hoffmann.This is not a book about religion. It is a story about a religious object - a Book of Hours, - the craft of its making, and its importance in the Medieval world, which is juxtaposed with events in the plot, beginning in the modern world.
A 13th century Book of Hours, valued for its scenes of medieval life, is stolen from a 20th century museum. Theft, murder, and ambition follow the book through the ages.
