Spain, 1920s. The lives of three Carmelite nuns intersect and
develop through a period of intense experience. In their personal
histories there is great contrast, from the artistic exuberance of
Paris in 'La Belle Epoque' to slavery in Africa, but a past element
is shared that has deeply affected each one.William Rose adeptly
guides the narrative through Africa, Spain and France in the early
decades of the 20th century, as the characters reveal their
histories and discover the destinies that await them. This novel is
a striking exploration of personal history aided by the spirited
observations of an eccentric French psychoanalyst. It is also an
emotive reflection upon the agony of maternal loss and betrayal,
and upon love.
