Description
The Sacrament A Novel by Olaf Olafsson is a haunting and vivid story about a nun who returns to her past in unexpected ways. She investigates a mysterious death and a series of abuse claims at a Catholic school in Iceland, where a young student witnessed the headmaster's fatal fall from the church tower. Two decades later, the child calls the nun back to the scene of the crime, prompting her to relive her years as a young woman in Paris. There, she met an Icelandic girl whose acquaintance changed her life, and whose connection is rekindled as she navigates the mystery of the headmaster's death and the abuses of power that may have led to it. This novel by critically acclaimed author Olaf Olafsson explores the complexity of our past lives and selves, the faulty nature of memory, and the indelible mark left by the joys and traumas of youth.
