Review:

"Remember Me" by Penelope Wilcock was  her sixth book in The Hawk and Dove series and was a christian fiction. This novel was of the life of William de Bulmer who was a monk of the St. Alcuin...has fallen in love with the Abbot John's sister Madeleine ...oops...then he meets  Madeleine next door neighbor Mother Ellen Cottingham..who comes to love him as a son..and ask him to become her confessor...and now he has accidentally lost all of the Abby's money"... what would happen  for this monk next...could he be truly forgiven?  Now, this is where I say you must pick up this excellent read.."Remember Me" to find out just what is going on.

The historical details that this author displays was simply a masterful job in
describing the struggles that these monks had trying to live a godly life. We
really get a look through this Medieval storyline of that shows this monks true life struggles with despair dealing with love and walking a narrow path serving God.

The main character...Father William was solid wonderful person...very real..along with John(Abbot), Father Peregrine, Father Oswald, Madeleine, Mother Ellen Cottingham, Brother Michael, Brother Robert, Brother Thomas, Brother Fleix, Brother Chad, Brother Ambrose, Brother Richard,  Brother Bernard, Brother Giles, Martin, Brother Benedict, Brother Paulinus, Brother James, Brother Peter, Brother Michael, Brother Walafrid, Brother Stephen, Father Domonic, Brother Conradus, Brother Cormac, Father Theodore, Thomas Haydon and I am sure I have left someone out.. but if you pick up "Remember Me" you can see who that was. 


"Remember Me" was a wonderful read for me and I truly enjoyed each and every page.  I would definietly recommend this excellent novel is worth reading.
