About this ebook

Father William knew something was changing deep within him. 


He felt it-from his belly, from his from his heart, from his soul-the reality of what was streaming forth unchecked. There was no denying it. This was love. Yet Father William has more to worry about than simply upholding his vows to God, to the brothers of St. Alcuin, and to Abbot John. The brotherhood is running out of money and Father William must decide whether or not to take matters into his own hands. 

Seasoned author Penelope Wilcock unlocks the story of one man's struggles, mistakes, and heart's longings, and traces the possibility of what it means to get things wrong and to begin again.

    This entry in the Hawk and Dove series tells the story of William's transformation and finding of love. The series is one of the best about communal living and the Middle Ages I have ever read. But, mostly I love the way it explains different aspects of Christ's love and actions in people's lives with such understanding. I cannot recommend the series highly enough.

    Another novel about the monks of St. Alcuin's centering on Father William de Bulmer--he falls in love, questions his vocation to the monastic life, and takes a risky trading venture upon himself. The latter goes bad and the whole monastery is left with the consequences. We agonize with William in his struggles. I could see where Abbot John was coming from though.These loveable monks, oh, so human! have become fictional friends. I love the way the author delves into each human heart.Highly recommended as are all of Wilcock's series.

    This is the 6th in The Hawk and the Dove series. Father William has manyu obstacles to overcome in this one. I was a little surprised at the ending, but I am glad it turned out as it did. I have read all the previous books, which makes the book more meaningful for me. I have come to know and love many of the brothers that have appeared in many of the books so far. As always, there is a fair amount of theology in here, some of it pretty heavy and some of it in this one I had trouble with, but I understand Abbott John's position. I look forward to reading the next book.

    Author: Penelope WilcockPublished CrosswayAge Recommended: Adult Rating: 5Blog For: GMTAReview:"Remember Me" by Penelope Wilcock was her sixth book in The Hawk and Dove series and was a christian fiction. This novel was of the life of William de Bulmer who was a monk of the St. Alcuin...has fallen in love with the Abbot John's sister Madeleine ...oops...then he meets Madeleine next door neighbor Mother Ellen Cottingham..who comes to love him as a son..and ask him to become her confessor...and now he has accidentally lost all of the Abby's money"... what would happen for this monk next...could he be truly forgiven? Now, this is where I say you must pick up this excellent read.."Remember Me" to find out just what is going on.The historical details that this author displays was simply a masterful job in describing the struggles that these monks had trying to live a godly life. We really get a look through this Medieval storyline of that shows this monks true life struggles with despair dealing with love and walking a narrow path serving God.The main character...Father William was solid wonderful person...very real..along with John(Abbot), Father Peregrine, Father Oswald, Madeleine, Mother Ellen Cottingham, Brother Michael, Brother Robert, Brother Thomas, Brother Fleix, Brother Chad, Brother Ambrose,Brother Richard, Brother Bernard, Brother Giles, Brother Martin, Brother Benedict, Brother Paulinus, Brother James, Brother Peter, Brother Michael, Brother Walafrid, Brother Stephen, Father Domonic, Brother Conradus, Brother Cormac, Father Theodore, Thomas Haydon and I am sure I have left someone out.. but if you pick up "Remember Me" you can see who that was. "Remember Me" was a wonderful read for me and I truly enjoyed each and every page. I would definietly recommend this excellent novel and it is worth reading.

    Remember Me by Penelope Wilcock (the 6th in the Hawk and Dove series) takes up and continues to follow the threads of life in the medieval monastery of St. Alcuin. Father William struggles with the finances of the Abbey, struggles against his falling in love and agonizes over his vows. The unraveling of the scroll of life in St Alcuin’s is linked by splashes and splodges of the characters’ very humanness. These people are revealed. They are alive. Their pride, despair, humility, anger and gratitude are teased and held together by the gold of love as vibrant and real as those of the most precious of illuminated manuscripts, filled with precious moments. So enthralled was I by Remember Me, I had to purchase The Hawk and the Dove trilogy immediately.Now I am able to continue wandering through across this wonderful medieval landscape that is the St Alcuin community. I am gripped by the lives of those unveiled. I have laughed and cried my way through them and been amazed by Wilcock’s imagery that wrings these emotions from me. Even her simple descriptions of the kitchen gardens are of rendered so that one is present.Certainly the discovery of new-to-me author, Penelope Wilcock, is a treasure.A NetGlley ARC
