Book Review of Luther and Katharina

Luther and Katharina
VolunteerVal avatar reviewed on + 645 more book reviews


As a lifelong Lutheran, I was eager to read this fictionalized story of Martin Luther meeting his wife Katharina von Bora, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The main characters, based on actual people, were fully developed, and although I knew the eventual outcome (thanks to history) the story was suspenseful throughout. The love story is moving as well. My favorite aspect of the book was the author's dedication to her father, a Lutheran pastor.
