Synopsis
In a Carmelite monastery on the outskirts of Los Angeles, life has continued virtually unchanged for centuries. Here, Sister John of the Cross lives in the service of God. She is the only nun who experiences visions and is regarded by the others as a spiritual master. But Sister John is also plagued by powerful headaches and when a doctor reveals that they may be dangerous, she faces a devastating choice. Is this grace merely an illness and will a ‘cure' mean the end of her illuminations and a soul dry and searching?

Review
" The world of the cloister is an almost unimaginable one, but this slim novel takes us inside the walls ... in an impressively authentic manner." -- Sunday Times, January 12th 2003
'A singularly rich and abundant work .. a rare willingness to engage faith on its own ground, to find in it a value that transcends the agnostic shrug' -- New York Times Book Review
'Like Memoirs of a Geisha, this novel permits the reader access to a world closed to many of us' -- Independent on Sunday
'Powerful ... sheds light on the cloister of the monastery as well as on the cloister of the mind' -- Erica Wagner, The Times
'Salzman's most accomplished work to date ... a lean, seemingly effortless tour de force' -- New Yorker
