Description
Kitty Maule has always been driven by a desire to be more than she is. She wants to be 'totally unreasonable, totally unfair, very demanding and very beautiful.' But instead, she is clever, hesitant and too patient for her own good. For years, Kitty has harboured feelings for Maurice Bishop, a charming English lecturer who seems not to notice her. When the opportunity arises to accompany him on a study of French cathedrals, Kitty sees it as a chance to be the woman she wants to be and finally win his affection. But as she gets closer to Maurice, he becomes increasingly elusive. As Kitty navigates this complex situation, she must confront the reality of her own desires and the nature of her relationship with Maurice. A nuanced exploration of love, identity and self-discovery, Providence is a thought-provoking novel about the complexities of human relationships.
