All is not what it seems in this gripping novel about two sisters' lives: one who leaves her secular Catholic life to become a nun in deepest Africa, and her sister who goes to search for her when she goes missing.Elodie O'Shea abandons her children to her estranged husband to go on the search for her sister, Bridie. What she uncovers reveals as much about herself, her marriage and her family than her missing sibling.Sister Sebastian's Library is a deeply moving exploration of relationships, loyalty and trust. With quiet confidence and perfectly pitched prose, Phil Whitaker challenges our understanding of the essentials that make us human. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I thought this was a great story; it was in some ways a detective story, but there was also an examination of faith and religion, discussion of the ways we repeat our parents' mistakes, and perhaps slightly too much (for me!) on Elodie's work trying to stamp out malaria. If there was a weak spot for me it was that Elodie's relationship with her children seemed superficial and I wasn't sure her romantic happy ending would work out. (Also there were quite a few typos in the text...)
Highly recommended. ( )
