In The Golden Thread, Ann Copeland's last book of stories, Claire
Delaney emerged from her convent after eleven years as a nun. Now,
in the linked stories in Strange Bodies on a Stranger Shore,
Copeland takes Claire into the complicated territory of middle age.
As her oldest son starts college, Claire revisits her young self,
when she followed the call to religious life and later the mature
knowledge that she must leave it. Moving between the present and
the past, Claire steers a tricky path among midlife joys and
responsibilities, from the grace of "Another Christmas", to the
physical intensity of "Leaving the World", to the angry,
provisional resolution of "Rupture".
