Description
Brought to you by Penguin.
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 recreates a world run by women.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"One of the great British novels of the 20th century: a narrative of extraordinary reach, power and beauty." (Sarah Waters)
"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)
