Penelope Wilcock
From Pen’s pen
Penelope Wilcock’s series of novels, The
Hawk and the Dove, are set in a medieval
monastery. The first trilogy – The Hawk
and the Dove, The Wounds of God and The
Long Fall focus on the monastery’s abbot,
Father Peregrine. In describing Peregrine’s
own brokenness and healing, and his
compassionate dealings with many of the
other monks, Penelope explores questions of

suffering and faith. Later novels in The Hawk
and the Dove series, such as The Hardest
Thing To Do and The Hour Before Dawn,
tell the ongoing story of the monastery after
Peregrine’s death. A sixth book, Remember
Me, is due out in summer 2012.
Penelope has also written a number of
other books, both fiction and non-fiction,
on Christian living and spirituality. Details
