PRAISE FOR The Passion of Dolssa * "Irresistibly compelling...[Berry conveys] complex historical and religious matters fluently and accessibly for today's readers." --Starred Review, Horn Book * "Berry again delivers an utterly original and instantly engrossing story [...] she weaves a tense, moving portrait of these two teenage girls and their struggle to survive against insurmountable odds." --Starred Review, Publishers Weekly * "Readers will be transported into Dolssa and Botille's world. An expertly crafted piece of historical fiction." --Starred Review, School Library Journal * "A skillfully crafted and tenderly told story of faith and friendship tested." --Starred Review, BCCB * "This beautifully crafted plot would be enough on its own, but Berry does so much more . . . despite the book's gravity, Berry also manages to infuse her story with laughter and light." --Starred Review, Booklist

Reseña del editor:

The Printz Honor winner that garnered five starred reviews and was hailed by the New York Times as "magnificent"! Dolssa is an upper-crust city girl who's been branded a heretic, on the run from the friar who condemned her mother to death by fire and wants Dolssa executed, too. Botille is a matchmaker and a tavern-keeper, struggling to keep herself and her sisters on the right side of the law in their seaside town. When their lives collide by a dark riverside, Botille rescues a dying Dolssa and conceals her in the tavern, where an unlikely friendship blooms. Aided by her sisters and Symo, her surly but loyal neighbor, Botille nurses Dolssa back to health and hides her from her pursuers. But all of Botille's tricks, tales, and cleverness can't protect them forever, and when the full wrath of the Church bears down upon them, Dolssa's passion and Botille's good intentions could destroy the entire village. From the author of the critically acclaimed and award-winning All the Truth That's in Me comes a spellbinding thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the final page and make you wonder if miracles really are possible.
