Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Cloistered in a stone cell at the monastery of Saint Brigit, a sixth-century Irish nun secretly records the memories of her Pagan youth, interrupting her assigned task of transcribing Augustine and Patrick. She also writes of her fiercely independent mother, whose skill with healing plants and inner strength she inherited. She writes of her druid teacher, the brusque but magnetic Giannon, who first introduced her to the mysteries of written language. But disturbing events at the cloister keep intervening. As the monastery is rent by vague and fantastic accusations, Gwynneve's words become the one force that can save her from annihilation. Synopsis:In this compelling historical novel, an Irish woman struggles between the old Druid ways and the rising tide of Christianity. A Book Sense 76 Selection. About the AuthorKate Horsley is the author of A Killing in New Town, which won the 1996 Best Western States Book Award for fiction, and Crazy Woman. From the Trade Paperback edition.
