AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Legend of a Mediterranean convent in the Middle Ages, the elopement of a young nun with a wounded knight, her life of disillusion and dishonour, and her return to the convent to die. On her return she finds Mary has served in her place for her, so that she can take up her old identity as if she had never left - thus God's true forgiveness of her. (PB)
