Margaret is an orphan living in a nunnery on an island. Her life is about chores, prayer, and the twice annual arrival of the ship that brings supplies, news from the mainland, and sometimes new visitors. When a regal, cold stranger arrives, things start to change. Margaret learns who Eleanor is and why she is on the island, the sinister truth about the nunnery she calls home, and her own identity.
This is a story that stands out as unique, even among historical fiction, and a delight to read.
