"A gripping and absorbing read" HISTORICAL NOVEL SOCIETYIt is 1490. Northern Europe is in the grip of sweeping plagues and religious inquisitions, and in daily terror of the Day of Judgement. In the town of Den Bosch, the artist Jerome (Hieronymus Bosch) paints his visionary denunciation of sin and folly, 'The Garden of Earthly Delights', while his neglected wife Aleyt strays into sin herself. But Jerome is not immune from the world he portrays. A rival artist and a corrupt Abbess concoct a hellish plot that threatens to destroy him. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I think the history had been well written and researched, but I found the writing to ‘heavy’. Please don’t ask what I mean by that, I don’t really know.
It’s not often I get a book that leaves me this flummoxed.
However, I did feel the characters to be well written and believable – at least to the point I can understand it.
The bottom line is that this book needs time to be read and appreciated to the full. It isn’t a book you will read and understand in just a day or two. The story is good and well worth making the effort to read, as I will be doing again at a later date. (
