Come Rack, Come Rope is a gripping historical novel which takes place during Queen Elizabeth I’s persecution of English Catholics. Based on the real sufferings of a real Catholic family in particular, and Catholics across the country, Robert Hugh Benson’s classic novel is one of tragedy and loss, but also heroism and human and divine love.
The novel follows Robin and Margaret, a young couple in love who forgo their affection when Margaret realizes Robin is called to the priesthood. Both play a critical role in caring physically and spiritually for their fellow Catholics during this time of terror.
Discover their heroism, love, and sacrifice, and be inspired to live it out in our own frightful times in Come Rack, Come Rope.

Beautiful!
What a beautiful volume! I'm in a Catholic book group and this novel is one of our selections. There are other publishers of "Come Rack! Come Rope!" but I like this one the best.

Masterfully Written
Another excellent historical novel from Msgr Benson. In reading this book, I learned a few things about the Elizabethan Persecutions, and it encouraged me to do some additional reading and reflection. I would recommend the book for older children and adults, particularly for students considering their vocation.
