(Emily Sarah) "All's Well"; or, Alice's Victory Reading ease score: 80.8 (6th grade). Easy to read. Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England "All's Well; or, Alice's Victory" by Emily Sarah Holt is a historical novel set during the sixteenth century, at the outset of the Reformation. The story revolves around Alice Benden, a Protestant woman whose husband, Edward Benden, betrays her by having her imprisoned for her religious beliefs. The narrative explores themes of faith, persecution, and personal sacrifice through Alice's struggles and the complexities of her relationships during a tumultuous period of religious strife. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the setting in the Weald of Kent and highlights the tension faced by those holding Protestant beliefs in a predominantly Catholic society. The narrative begins with a lively exchange between neighbors, providing insight into the community's dynamics and the implications of personal loss. As Alice's story unfolds, we learn of her imprisonment by the Bishop due to her staunch Protestant stance, her husband’s coerced support of her prosecution, and the impact this has on her family relationships, particularly with her brother and her niece Christabel, who suffers from illness. The prose captures the period's essence while establishing the harsh realities faced by those who dared to dissent from societal norms.
