In one the mother is a religious bigot and obsessive, physically and mentally punishing son and daughter in the name of Christianity, in the other the mother is accused of practising witchcraft with a son born out of wedlock - a child of Satan. With a dreadful sense of inevitability, the young people meet and fall in love and are parted. Their love is bound for disaster, given the parents. Freda Warrington writes beautifully and evocatively of the old religion and of the love between the two young people. A sense of foreboding permeates the whole book.
Events conspire and lead inexorably on to a final confrontation.
The Dark Cathedral is engrossing and exciting. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Any Original Material Author All rights reserved.
