The review paper offers the contents of the book Bílá Voda by Kateřina Tučková and its critical evaluation with respect to church history and Catholic theology. This historical novel has gained a great deal of attention and has a potential to significantly influence the public’s awareness of the discussed issues (persecution of nuns, history of the monastery in Bílá Voda, “underground church”, mechanisms within the church etc.). The author devoted much time for preparation and her book has succeeded in popularizing topics that are usually familiar to a limited number of people, in spite of being studied by historians. Nevertheless, the review paper proves that Kateřina Tučková employed simple schemes and cliches and repeatedly made errors regarding the church and its doctrine.
