Add to basketNot Listed: HarperCollins, WILL COMBINE BOOKS TO SAVE POSTAGE IF POSSIBLE- SOFT COVER-MID SIZE-SMALL CREASE ON BOTTOM RIGHT HAND SIDE OF COVERNot recorded Used Sarah is just seventeen when she chooses to become an anchoress, a holy woman shut away in a cell that measures only seven by nine paces, at the side of the village church Fleeing the grief of losing a much-loved sister in childbirth as well as pressure to marry the local lord's son, she decides to renounce the world--with all its dangers, desires, and temptations--and commit herself to a life of prayerBut it soon becomes clear that the thick, unforgiving walls of Sarah's cell cannot protect her as well as she had thought With the outside world clamoring to get in and the intensity of her isolation driving her toward drastic actions, even madness, her body and soul are still in grave danger When she starts hearing the voice of the previous anchoress whispering to her from the walls, Sarah finds herself questioning what she thought she knew about the anchorhold, and about the village itselfWith the lyricism of Nicola Griffith's Hild and the vivid historical setting.
