Publisher Description

Vegetation grows out of the mouths of stone angels, and sheep wander through the chapel. For Iphigenia, Margarita, and Carla the rhythm of nature and the rituals of the Church have joined to make an encompassing whole, a garment as fitting for their lives as their homespun clothes. They pray, they do their daily tasks. Brambles enclose the monastery and the three nuns have forgotten the world outside. Until a worldly young priest forges his way in. Brisk and businesslike, Father Ignatius plans to transform the nuns' very existence. Or is it the man who will be transformed?

"I agree with this review from the Atlantic Journal Constitution: "A great story...the book walks a fine line between magic and religion, the pagan and the Christian...Part of the novel's charm lies in its fairy-tale flavor, the dash of magic Day has added." It provoked a lively and long discussion at my book group."

    " I'm not a habitual re-reader, but this one goes on the short list of books I'm likely to revisit. In the absence of patriarchs (and the rest of civilization, for that matter), a convent organically departs from orthodoxy over time and returns to the earth, becoming more and more like a coven..... "

    " This was a slow starter, but as the characters developed and all sorts of parallels emerged, I became more and more entwined in it. Really nice story, fresh sort of plot. I enjoyed it quite a bit! "

    " This seemed to b a love it or hate it book for our book clubs, but for Wendi (co-worker/bookseller) and me it was a big LOVE IT! Fresh, funny, bittersweet, not like any other books I;ve read. I wanted to yell, "leave these nuns alone!" "

    " I had no idea this book was a bit of a comedy but it was hard not to fall in love with these quirky nuns isolated from the rest of the world. "

    " Ok, I am officially giving up on this one for the time being. Now the nuns are drinking lambs blood instead of wine during their sacrament. Ugh... also, they think that their dead sister nuns have started to inhabit the sheep they tend and they never bathe...also they tell weird stories... "

    " Magic realism at it's best. Nuns isolated on an island, sheep hold a priest hostage, spirits are changed. "
