We say: **
Interesting medieval portrait of village life. Depressingly it’s always rainy, muddy and the food is terrible…
The church is portrayed as the gangsters of their time with extortion being their preferred method. 1/10 of the starving peasants efforts are extracted regardless if they have enough to fill their “bairns” bellies or not.
Nothing like holding people’s entry ticket to heaven in your tight little fists…
In the whole though, its nothing like Company of Liars, the characters are far too numerous and sketchily formed for you to keep track (or actually even care) of their fate.
I found myself skipping whole chapters in a rush to get to the end and move on to a different book.
There is more interesting middle ages stuff out there.
