God`s Traitors: Terror and Faith in Elizabethan England

This book is Winner of the PEN Hessell-Tiltman Prize. Longlisted for The Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction. A Sunday Times Book of the Year. A Daily Telegraph Book of the Year. A Times Book of the Year. An Observer Book of the Year. A woman awakes in a prison cell. She has been on the run but the authorities have tracked her down and taken her to the Tower of London – where she is interrogated about the Gunpowder Plot. The woman is Anne Vaux – one of the ardent, brave and exasperating members of the aristocratic Vauxes of Harrowden Hall. Through the eyes of this remarkable family, award-winning author Jessie Childs explores the Catholic predicament in Elizabethan England – an age in which their faith was criminalised and almost two hundred Catholics were executed. From dawn raids to daring escapes, stately homes to torture chambers, God`s Traitors exposes the tensions masked by the cult of Gloriana – and is a timely reminder of the terrible consequences when religion and politics collide.
