OGGE
was educated at the University of St Andrews, Scotland. She lives in London. This is her first book.

From the reviews of
God’s Secret Agents
:

‘Hogge’s sympathetic portrait of the Jesuit mission to England is set thrillingly among dangers with a star cast of characters…excellently researched and beautifully written; impossible to put down’

A. C. G
RAYLING
,
Financial Times

‘Compelling storytelling’

Observer

‘Hogge has skillfully digested a century of Catholic scholarship and has woven it into a gripping tale; a book that will open for many readers a window into a neglected aspect of a cruel and colourful age’

E
AMON
D
UFFY
,
New York Review of Books

‘Hogge’s absorbing narrative reads like a historical novel but it was no fiction’

Guardian

‘Lucidly argued…Hogge brings the characters vividly to life’

Daily Express

‘Effectively captures the difficulties of living as a member of a persecuted minority in England in the decades preceding the Gunpowder Plot’

Daily Telegraph

‘Fully alive to the drama of all the Catholic martyrs’ lives. The book opens with the secret landing of two young Jesuit priests on the Norfolk coast, and Alice Hogge is brilliant at evoking the climate of suspicion and fear that met them’

D
AVID
C
RANE
,
Spectator

‘An extraordinarily moving story…of persecution, flight, desperate endurance and heroic existence’

M
ELANIE

ONAGH

Tablet

‘A vivid picture of the stresses of operating in secret, under false identities, in constant fear of betrayal’
