The Corner That Held Them - Sylvia Warner Townsend - książka
Producent: Penguin Books
The narrative centers around a group of nuns who seek solace within the walls of a medieval convent in Norfolk, aiming to distance themselves from worldly concerns. Despite their efforts to lead secluded lives, they cannot fully escape the disturbances brought on by external events such as fires, floods, epidemics, and even conflicts among themselves. Over the span of three centuries, the story unfolds, revealing the challenges and triumphs these women experience while navigating a world that remains unpredictable and ever-changing. This historical fiction novel skillfully illustrates a female-led society with remarkable depth, combined with a touch of humor. George Steiner from The Times Literary Supplement praises it as a peerless achievement in imagined history, infused with frequent moments of high comedy.
