About this title

Synopsis:

Chosen by The Globe and Mail as one of the best books of 2000 and a national bestseller, The Geometry of Love is Margaret Visser's love letter to a church. Taking one church, Sant' Agnese fuori le Mura in Rome, Visser casts her net widely and looks at history, theology, anthropology, art history and technology, iconography, hagiography and folklore, in order to give life and meaning to a seemingly ordinary church. The result is classic Visser -- a trademark blend of wisdom, wit and first-rate scholarship.
