Laurie Albanese and Laura Morowitz teamed to write a fictional account of the life of Fra Filippo Lippi in 1450s Prato.
There is a lot of good historical detail that seems to depict accurately the period and it propelled me to find much of Lippi's work on line, but it was essentially a piece of 'candy' literature and is headed out the door.
The 15th century Church is portrayed as a pretty nasty institution of very worldly people, and perhaps reflecting the authors' own backgrounds, there is little indication that any of those living and working within the establishment had any relationship with Christ.
