Love in the Time of the Inquisition is a book which tells of a woman piecing together the story of her beginnings — beginnings taking her back to sixteenth century Malta, right inside the lives of her female ancestors.

As meticulously researched as all of Drofenik’s previous works, Love in the Time of the Inquisition is a beautifully written novel about journeys, memory and the healing power of love.
