'One of the great British novels of the twentieth century: a
narrative of extraordinary reach, power and beauty' Sarah Waters
The nuns who enter a medieval Norfolk convent are told to renounce
the world, but the world still finds ways to trouble them, whether
it is through fire, floods, pestilence, a collapsing spire, jealous
rivalries, a priest with a secret or a plague of caterpillars. As
we follow their daily lives over three centuries, this masterpiece
of historical fiction re-creates a world run by women. 'As an act
of imagined history this novel has few rivals. Also, as it happens,
a work of high, frequent comedy' George Steiner, The Times Literary
Supplement 'Spellbinding . . . One starts rereading as soon as one
has reached the last page' Sunday Times 'Magnificent' Philip
Hensher, Daily Telegraph
