Description
Beth Marriot's life has been turned upside down. After a catastrophic series of events, she finds solace in a strict Buddhist retreat where sex is forbidden and emotions are kept at bay. As she struggles to come to terms with her past, Beth discovers a diary that sets her on a path of obsession. The more she reads, the more she yearns for its author - a silent priestess who embodies the very purity Beth seeks. As Beth becomes increasingly drawn into the retreat's austere world, she must confront the demons that have haunted her for so long. But can she reconcile her own desires with the strict rules of this isolated community? The diary becomes her only confidant, and yet it is also a reminder of all that she has lost. In this powerful and thought-provoking novel, Tim Parks explores the complexities of the human heart and the search for meaning in a world that often seems hostile to our deepest longings.
