Summary
Forced by circumstance to seek refuge with Fleur, her young daughter, in the remote abbey of Saint Marie-de-la-Mer, Juliette reinvents herself as Soeur Auguste under the tutelage of the kindly Abbess. But times are changing: the murder of Henri IV becomes the catalyst for massive upheaval in France. A new appointment is made, and Juliette's new life begins to unravel. For the new Abbess is Isabelle, the eleven-year-old child of a corrupt and noble family. Worse, Isabelle has brought with her a ghost from Juliette's past, masquerading as a cleric, a man she has every reason to fear...

I loved this book when I read it
... and the audiobook isn't bad, but why the need for the odd 30-second musical interludes between chapters? Very odd. I do love this story though -- my favourite Joanne Harris! -- which, given the other reviews, shows you can't please everybody all of the time.

Beautiful story
I loved this book. I’m a big fan of Joanne Harris and this one didn’t disappoint. Evocative and beautifully narrated, even if the rural French accents did wander perilously close to welsh. Whether this was an intended affectation or not it didn’t detract from the story one bit

Weird story
Any additional comments?
I read most of Joanne Harris' books and enjoyed it throughout. This time I was disappointed by a boring implausible slow motion story in a medieval setting.

Disappointed
I wish I hadn't wasted my credit on this one. It's not what I was expecting from the author and the narrators voice didn't help in making me want to continue with the book.
