The book by D Albrecht Thoma is no stuffy religious book even if it's about the woman who became the wife of the Reformer Martin Luther.

An historical picture of her life, or historical life picture, it describes a vivid picture of the life of this woman, and those surrounding her. Her entry into a convent, her escape in a fish barrel, her marriage to Martin Luther, their acquisition of farmland, visitors to their home, their (non-stuffy) lifestyle, problems with opponents, war, and plague. A woman still close to the hearts of many Germans today.
