While I certainly enjoyed reading much of it, I thought that after 1,200+ pages, that the ending was rushed, with three minor characters closing it.

On the steps of a Church in Northampton, five characters meet in the afterlife. Thomas à Becket, Samuel Beckett, John Clare, with HUSBAND and WIFE

But then, a strange thing happened – I started to enjoy this chapter very much. Especially when I figure out the meanings and the playfulness of the words

This chapter is mostly about English history. The children, with Handsome John, Phyllis, and others go to look at the English Civil War, and Oliver Cromwell

Unlike the other chapters, this one was linear. We have no actual history of Brother Peter. It’s a messy story, but not as ugly as other chapters
