Description

A Saint from Texas by Edmund White is a sweeping novel that explores the lives of twin sisters Yvette and Yvonne Crawford. Born in East Texas, they are destined for vastly different fates - one for Parisian nobility and the other for Catholic sainthood. As their lives unfold across decades, the twins find that their bonds of family and past remain unbreakable. Spanning the 1950s to the recent past, this epic novel takes readers on a journey through varied worlds: the swaggering opulence of Dallas society, the airless pretention of Parisian high society, and the strict piety of a Colombian convent. With its richly drawn characters and nuanced exploration of identity, family, and faith, A Saint from Texas is a deeply satisfying read. Edmund White's masterful prose serves up an immensely pleasurable tale of two women as they traverse their lives in different worlds, always finding themselves bound to each other by ties of family and past.
