Sinful Folk is the story of a mother who carries a hidden secret and a terrible grief. In December of the year 1377, the village of Duns in northeast England suffered a great tragedy when five children died. The villagers demanded justice from the King.
Sinful Folk is the story of these villagers who undertook a desperate mid-winter journey with their dead children all the way across England to the King's throne. Mear, a former nun who has lived for a decade disguised as a mute man, has her own reasons for going along on this quest. Yet one by one, all her secrets come out, and she finds the strength to claim her birthright, and accuse the murderer.
Sinful Folk begins in terror and heartache, and ends in triumph and redemption.

I cannot praise the narrator, Anne Day-Jones, highly enough. She was able to portray each of the characters effortlessly and her facile switching to flawless French when called for by the text was remarkable.
I read and listened to both the Kindle and Audible versions through Immersion Reading and highly recommend either or both. I generally do not reread books but this may be the only Audible book I will actually listen to again.
Incredible book and fabulous narrator

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I wouldn't recommend this to most readers, but fans of historical novels might want to take a listen. It's quite dark and sad, as we imagine life in 1377 would be.Would you be willing to try another book from Ned Hayes? Why or why not?
Only if the story is less-depressing than this one...If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Absolutely not. It wouldn't be made into a movie because there isn't enough of a plot, in my opinion.Slow and depressing story
