PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- An unnamed narrator takes a retreat at a cloistered abbey near the town she grew up in. She’s avoiding thinking about her marriage breakdown and observing the nuns’ rituals with some incomprehension, but a few years later she is resident there. Has she run away from the world? Is it solace or solitude she seeks? Or forgiveness? As she revisits her moral failings, the world intrudes: first a mouse plague, then someone from her past… A quiet novel, all the more powerful because of its introspection. Lindy
