Echoing the critics....Follett has done it again! From the opening scenes in a Welsh mining shaft right through the last paragraph he has you in his grip...I can hardly wait for Part 2!

Fiedler, a Roman Catholic nun, uses long, personal interviews with women religious and spiritual leaders to understand their efforts to bring women into the leadership positions in the Catholic church. Her personal feminism provides a foundation for this timely discourse.
