This evocative book tells the story of the scramble for power in the Vatican as the College of Cardinals voted for a new Pope.
One might like to think that such an election would be very different from the political elections that we are used to.
Sadly the way things were done in 1559 would be very familiar to the likes of Liz Truss and Jacob Rees Mogg..... and they used the Sistine Chapel as a dormitory. It had to be fumigated.
