Paperback. Condizione: Good. 308 pages. Cover wornAlways bold, always provocative, Michele Roberts turns now to the forbidden p leasures and pains of the love between father and daughter and unfolds before us the life and death of Saint Josephine. Holy woman or whore? Upholder of pious o r pagan delights? Lowly nun or powerful miracle worker? Or both? And woven throu ghout her story are the heady and sometimes fearful tales of other female saints - one-armed mad girls, beauties locked in towers, seductive daughters - all wom en who didn't know their place. Rich with fabulous imagery, IMPOSSIBLE SAINTS is as potent and disturbing as its dangerous themes. n'Her fictions are high-risk, unconventional, often apparently unstable; yet are steered with such authority that the otherwise cautious reader is taken almost without realising it into dan gerous and exhilarating territory . She is a writer dedicated to challenging t he boundaries by which the idle and unthinking might try to circumscribe her' Ra chel Cusk, Sunday Express n'Hugely entertaining and genuinely thought-provoking' Julia Flynn, Sunday Telegraph.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. 240 pages. Cover wornIn every war there are stories that do not surface. You can try to forget, bu t sometimes the past can return: in the scent of a bar of soap, in whispers dart ing through a village after mass, in the color of an undelivered letter. n nJean ne Nerin and Marie-Angle Baudry grow up side by side in the Catholic village of Ste. Madeleine, but their worlds could not be more different. Marie-Angle is the grocer's daughter, inflated with ideas of her own piety and rightful place in s ociety. Jeanne's mother washes clothes for a living. She used to be a Jew until this became too dangerous. Jeanne does not think twice about stealing food when she is hungry, nor about grasping the slender chances life throws at her. Marie- Angle does not grasp; she aspires to a life of comfort and influence. When war f alls out of the sky, the forces that divide the two girls threaten to overwhelm those that bind them together. In this dizzying new order, the truth can be buri ed under a pyramid of recriminations. n nMichle Roberts's new novel is a mesmeri zing exploration of guilt, faith, desire, and judgment, bringing to life a peopl e at war in a way that is at once lyrical and shocking.…
