Title: This is why we read!
Review: I found a copy of this book in a small bookstore in the Middle East. Little did I know that it was out of print and that it would become such a treasured find. I bought it because I couldn't forget the haunting words on the back cover of the book that said "...this nun with that ardent soul whose fiery mark is left for us in her letters." Once I started reading the book, I found I couldn't put it down. It's so easy to relate to Marianna, as a woman, as a seeker of love, of God, of what we all want....complete unity. This is much more than a love story, much more than love letters sent, only to be rejected. It is a story about finding our divinity in life. If you are at all interested in these subjects, you will not only love this book, you will cherish it as a gift. ( For anyone who is interested in related items to this subject, there is a movie available on DVD called, Anchoress. It's all done in black and white and has haunting poetry in its imagery. )
Is the review positive or negative?
