London/ New York: Clink Street Publishing, 2016. 9781911110613. First edition. A new paperback, in fine condition. Clean throughout. [4pp.]/pp.221. ** Excerpt from cover: "On 31st October 1517 Martin Luther pinned ninety-five theses on the Castle Church door, Wittenberg, criticizing the Church of Rome; they were printed and published by Lucas Cranach and caused a storm. Nine young nuns, intoxicated by Luther's subversive writings, became restless and longed to leave their convent. On Good Friday 1523 a haulier smuggled them out hidden in empty herring barrels. Five of them settled in Wittenberg, the very eye of the storm, and one of them - Katharina von Bora - scandalised the world by marrying the revolutionary former monk (Martin Luther). Following a near miscarriage, she is confined to her bed to await the birth of their first child; during this time, she sets down her own story.. **2017 marks the 500th anniversary of the beginning of the Protestant Reformation, when Martin Luther pinned his “Ninety-five Theses” on the church door in Wittenberg.**Anne Boileau was born on a farm at Boxford. She studied German in Munich and worked as an interpreter and translator before turning to language teaching in England. Ann now translates modern German poetry into English with Camden Mews Translators and was Chair of Suffolk Poetry from 2011 to 2014.".
