Printing Details
First edition. Hardback in dustwrapper. 22 × 14cm, 424pp.
Bruised by tragedy, Philippa Talbot leaves behind a successful career with the civil service for a new calling: to join an enclosed order of Benedictine nuns. In this small community of fewer than one hundred women, she soon discovers all the human frailties: jealousy, love, despair. But each crisis of heart and conscience is guided by the compassion and intelligence of the Abbess and by the Sisters’ shared bond of faith and ritual. Away from the world, and yet at one with it, Philippa must learn to forgive and forget her past...
Condition
Good condition. The dustwrapper is rubbed to the edges but has not been price-clipped. The book has foxing to the pages' top edge and to the margins but remains in strong readable condition.
Books are currently zero-rated for duty, so the price shown is the price you pay.
