Description

*Exquisite, luminous prose from one of the twentieth century's greatest novelists

Reviews

'O'Brien exquisitely evokes the harem atmosphere of convent life, the beauty and the silence, the bickering and the cruelties ... If novels can be music, this is a novel with perfect pitch' Clare Boylan *'A wonderful book, a land to be revisited' Irish Times *'This subtle and beautifully constructed novel deals with the conflict between human and divine love' Sunday Times
