All's Well Alice's Victory

All's Well Alice's Victory by Emily Sarah Holt plunges listeners into the tense crossroads of faith and conscience in 16th-century England. Set in the wooded Weald of Kent at the dawn of the Reformation, this historical fiction follows a family who outwardly clings to Catholic ritual while secretly embracing Protestant ideas. When a spirited young woman’s outspoken beliefs come to light, local clergy and bishops intervene, and she is hauled before ecclesiastical authority, subjected to harsh imprisonment and the looming threat of severe punishment. Holt’s literary storytelling blends vivid period detail—the oak-studded lanes, village gossip, and the nervous hush of a community divided—with themes of religious conflict, personal courage, and the costs of dissent. The novel captures the uneasy tension between private conviction and public conformity, offering a compassionate portrait of a woman tested by institutional power and the small loyalties that sustain her. Ideal for listeners of historical fiction and literary period drama, this audiobook will appeal to fans of Tudor-era intrigue, moral suspense, and richly evoked settings. Choose this moving, atmospheric tale for a compact yet powerful dive into Reformation England and the human stakes of belief.
