Title: The Miracle at St. Bruno's
Author: Philipa Carr
Category: Historical Fiction
Blurb: "I was born in the September of 1523, nine months after the monks had discovered the child in the crib on that Christmas morning. My birth was, my father used to say, another miracle: He was not young at the time being forty years of age . . . My mother, whose great pleasure was tending her gardens, called me Damask, after the rose which Dr. Linacre, the King's physician, had brought into England that year." (Taken from Opening Paragraph)
