Evensong by Gail Godwin
New York Times Bestseller
Ballantine Reader's Circle
Back of book:
"A deeply considered, even dignified novel...
One stays engaged with the story for sheer narrative hook: As with story lines from Dikens...you simply want to find out who does what to whom...The final beauty of Evensong is its ability to address God--to address the mystery of faith by comprehending, then embracing, this premise of uncertainty itself." -The Boston Sunday Globe
"Evensong lingers in the mind...
Meticulousness and precision are, indeed, Godwin's greatest strengths. In matters liturgical and clerical, her command is impeccable." -The New York Times Book Review
"[A] Sensitive, perfectly paced novel...
A story full of fresh, spiritual wisdoom...Smashing one of the strangest taboos in American literature, Godwin may have finally brought religion back from the wilderness and made it a safe subject for literary fiction." -The Christian Science Monitor
Format: Paperback
ISBN: 0345434773
Mar 2000

405 pages
My review: 5/5
