The Abbess of Crewe

by Muriel Spark

The Abbess of Crewe Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

An elegant fable about intrigue, corruption, and electronic surveillance, 'The Abbess of Crewe' (1974) is set in an English Benedictine convent. Steely and silky Abbess Alexandra has bugged the convent, and rigged her election. But the cat gets out of the bag, and--plunged into scandal--the serene Abbess faces a Vatican inquiry.
