Description
Michèle Roberts' Impossible Saints is a provocative exploration of the complex and often contradictory lives of female saints. Through the story of Saint Josephine, she delves into the forbidden pleasures and pains of the love between father and daughter, raising questions about the nature of devotion and desire.
Rich with vivid imagery, this novel weaves together the tales of other female saints, each with their own unique struggles and triumphs. From the heady and sometimes fearful stories of women who defied convention to those who were locked away, Roberts' fictions are both potent and disturbing.
A writer dedicated to challenging the boundaries that restrict her, Michèle Roberts' work is not for the faint of heart. Yet, it is also a deeply thought-provoking and engaging read, one that will leave you questioning your assumptions about the world around you.
