Riassunto

Praise for Becoming Light

"Prose and poetry, narrative and dream-like interludes vie with each other in a series of vignettes, charting the twists and turns of an amazing journey under the shadow of the Penal Laws. Nano emerges in stages as a bright and vivacious child, as a privileged young woman moving in royal circles in Paris, as one listening to the voices and influences which beckoned her to risk everything for the Reign of God, as Lady of the Lantern on the dark, impoverished streets of Cork. This novel successfully presents a portrait of Nano Nagle which is credible and inspiring. It is well-written and well-structured."

"Barbara Ressler has taken a unique, creative approach to Nano's life and spirituality in Becoming Light: A 21st Century Retelling of the Life of Nano Nagle. This original, quick-moving portrayal of Nano, her charm, simplicity, courage, and above all her steadfast love of, and trust in God, fills a void."

"Becoming Light: A 21st Century Retelling of the Life of Nano Nagle, by Barbara Ressler will be especially attractive to this century's readers. The inventive interweaving of poetry and story in a fast-paced read leaves one wanting to know more about this daring woman called Nano, who challenged injustice with education and empathetic service."
