Reconciliación relata en detalle la parte privada de una vida pública.

In the heart of medieval Britain, the spectacle of execution was a grim theatre of power and control—as ordinary a sight as the bustling market or the tolling church bell. Beneath the public rituals of punishment, however, lies a quieter, more haunting story: the marks left behind by the condemned.
