Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. This novel is the story of a doomed love affair between an unruly copper-haired girl and the bookish priest sent to oversee her exorcism. This story is set in a South American seaport in the colonial era, a time of viceroy and bishops, enlightened men and Inquisitors, saints and lepers and pirates. Sierra Maria, only child of a decaying noble family, has been raised in the slaves' courtyard of her father's cobwebbed mansion while her mother succumbs to fermented honey and cacao on a faraway plantation. On her 12th birthday the girl is bitten by a rabid dog, and even as the wound is healing she is made to endure therapies indistinguishable from tortures. Believed, finally, to be possessed, she is brought to a convent for observation. And into her cell stumbles Father Cayetano Delaura, the Bishop's protégé, who has already dreamed about a girl with hair trailing after her like a bridal train; who is already moved by this kicking, sorting, emaciated creature strapped to a stone bed. As he tends to her with holy water and sacramental oils, breathing gently on her chafed skin to cool it, feeding her smuggled pastries, Delaura feels "something immense and irreparable" happening to him. It is love, "the most terrible demon of all." And it is not long before Sierva Maria, though dreaming of snow, joins in his fevered misery. This book has rough deckled page edges. Codice articolo 834
