The Passion of Dolssa

The Passion of Dolssa

A Printz Honor Book

"Gorgeous and evocative . . . magnificent."--The New York Times
Â
Medieval France: Dolssa is an upper-crust city girl with a secret lover and an uncanny gift. Branded a heretic, sheâ€™s 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 of Bajas. Their lives collide when Botille rescues a dying Dolssa and agrees to conceal her in the tavern. Aided by her sisters and Symo, her surly but loyal neighbor, Botille nurses Dolssa back to health and hides her from her pursuers.Â But all of Botilleâ€™s tricks, tales, and cleverness canâ€™t protect them forever, and when the full wrath of the Church bears down upon Bajas, Dolssaâ€™s passion and Botilleâ€™s good intentions could destroy the entire village.Â
