Description
Set against the turbulent backdrop of 17th-century France, Holy Fools is a captivating tale of love, transformation and redemption. Joanne Harris weaves a passionate story of a woman's journey from actress to nun, as she seeks refuge with her young daughter in a remote abbey.
In this absorbing novel, Harris explores the complexities of faith, identity and the human condition, against the backdrop of witch trials, regicide and religious fervour. As Soeur Auguste navigates the treacherous landscape of her past, she must confront the ghosts that haunt her and the secrets that threaten to destroy her new life.
