"Come Rack! Come Rope!" by Robert Hugh Benson is a historical novel published in 1912. Set during the Elizabethan persecution of Catholics in Derbyshire, it follows two young lovers who sacrifice their future together when Robin chooses the priesthood over marriage. As priests are hunted and martyred for treason, both face impossible choices between love and faith, safety and devotion. Based largely on real historical figures, the novel dramatizes a time when
harboring a priest meant death. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
