Here is what people are saying about the The Hawk and the Dove: A Trilogy
5 Star Rating  "Insightful, Refreshing, Relevant"2009-09-30
- Reviewed By ljnunn from McAllen, TX United States
I selected this book because I wanted to try a new author in historical fiction and this title had a five-star rating. I read some of the reviews and decided to give it a try. I was NOT disappointed; rather, I was enriched by the relevant lessons taught through story-telling. Wilcock's skill at weaving true-to-life characters and realistic stories is magnificent.

Also, I did read this using the Kindle app for my iPhone and it did have quite a few typographical disfluencies, particularly in the third book.
 
5 Star Rating  "It will capture you & not let you cease reading...."2009-07-03
- Reviewed By homeinca from The Golden State
Father Peregrine and his companions are used by God to speak to the reader, there is no doubt. I was encouraged, shamed, joyful, despondent and every other possible emotion that can be experienced when considering the character and realizing that I too have the same struggles & victories. Father Peregrine and his companions will be people you want to know more and more....
 
5 Star Rating  "I use these stories in my high school English class, and the students love them!"2009-04-30
- Reviewed By Mary G from Kansas City, MO
A dear freind of mine introduced me to this trilogy many years ago, and I have read it faithfully every year since. I was so taken with the way Penelope Wilcock develops her characters, settings, and themes that I decided to make the first two books part of my high school English class. I developed a study guide, and the students have loved them!The endearing monks live out the longings God has put in every human heart, sometimes tragically, sometimes awkwardly, but always with a lasting beauty. I love these books because they move me and touch something real, and I will read them again and again.
 
5 Star Rating  "Reads like a devotional!"2009-04-27
- Reviewed By E. Esmiol from southern california
I have read and reread Penelope Wilcock's trilogy and given it to friends and family to read. Her character development displays a deep understanding of the human condition. Her writing also beautifully captures the complexities of the soul and illuminates the process of real transformation in the context of divine love. I have been moved to tears by this book as often as I have found myself laughing out loud! Abbot Peregrine, the main character in the novel, becomes a man of wisdom born of trial, a man of compassion born of suffering, and a man of faith born of experiencing his God. This is a story about transformation through relationships. In the context of Abbot Peregrine touching the lives of his monks, and the monks touching his life, a reader cannot help but finish the novel deeply impacted and richly blessed.
 
5 Star Rating  "A MUST READ"2008-11-07
- Reviewed By gbeardsley from TEMECULA, CA
This is truly a remarkable book! A real vision of God is revealed in the pages through Father Peregrine.
 
4 Star Rating  "A very substantial piece of Christian fiction"2008-07-15
- Reviewed By FaithfulReader.com from New York, New York
For several years a friend has been pushing this book at me: "You've really got to read this." I finally took her recommendation seriously, and now I pass along the enthusiasm for this hefty volume (560 pages), which is really three short novels bound as one.

One caveat: Right off the bat you have to stretch your imagination to allow for the intergenerational setup --- that a contemporary British woman would know detailed ancestral stories from the 14th century. Each chapter begins and ends in this modern, Anglican household, where Mother uses an heirloom story set in the great-great-great uncle's Benedictine abbey of St. Alcuin to teach a life lesson to her 15-year-old daughter. This format suited my pattern of reading one (self-contained) chapter each evening, savoring the insights drawn from the characterizations of the monks.

The principal monastic is the abbot. By birth his name was Peregrine, meaning "hawk" --- a word that well described his temperament as well as his craggy countenance. But as a Benedictine his name was Columba, meaning "dove." Early in the first book, Peregrine is savagely beaten by Easter guests seeking revenge against his father. They cripple Peregrine's hands and legs and leave him to die, but in God's mercy the path of suffering leads to humbling transformations, which are portrayed in his dealings with his monastic brothers.

You get to know these monks individually, especially several who are introduced as young novices and subsequently mature in their Christian faith and in their self-knowledge under Peregrine's tutelage. There's Francis, so cheerful and jesting that the novice master asks Peregrine to ferret out his insincerity. Or is it insecurity? There's angry Cormac, assigned to work under a critical supervisor, but within sight of a referee who doesn't let things get out of hand. There's impetuous Thomas, chosen as Peregrine's own personal assistant --- even helping him cut his food and don his clothes. They, and Peregrine, wind themselves around your heart.

One particularly strong story, early in book two ("The Wounds of God"), takes place outside the abbey, when Peregrine (with Thomas) travels to an Augustinian priory to participate in a theological debate "concerning the nature of God, whether his supreme manifestation be in justice or in mercy." Here, and later in book three, serious theological issues are discussed, not as sermons but rather within the context of a story.

In the third book of the trilogy ("The Long Fall"), the author wisely abandons the contemporary framework, which by now has outlived its usefulness. Here the full account focuses on the Benedictines. The spotlight is on Thomas and his devotion to Peregrine, who is further disabled by a stroke and aphasia and confined to the infirmary --- think nursing home, without any modern amenities. In an "author's note" at the end of the book, Wilcock acknowledges that she worked hard to present an "authentic" but not overly explicit portrayal of the realities of disabilities that too often curtail people's participation in Christian communities --- even the incapacitating fear of incontinence.

This is a wonderfully insightful volume, with a rich historical storyline. There's more substantial content here than in much Christian fiction --- about grace, about leadership and loyalty, about humility, about disability and suffering. About the hawk as well as the dove.
