Lent by Jo Walton
Set in Renaissance Florence, the narrative follows the life of Girolamo Savonarola, a Dominican friar known for his fiery sermons and moral fervor. As he navigates the complexities of faith, power, and politics, he becomes a pivotal figure in the city's tumultuous history. The story takes a fantastical turn when Savonarola discovers he has the ability to relive certain periods of his life, allowing him to alter events and explore the consequences of his choices. This blend of historical fiction and speculative elements offers a profound meditation on redemption, destiny, and the human capacity for change.
