Bread for the Baker's Child
A Novel
Joseph Caldwell
Über dieses Buch
A nun struggles to keep her order afloat while her imprisoned brother fights for survival in this "elegiac tale of tragedy and redemption" ( Booklist ).
At first glance, the siblings at the heart of Bread for the Baker's Child couldn't seem more different. Rachel is a devoted nun, while Phillip is a faithless accountant in prison for embezzlement. It soon becomes apparent that the two share a painful past, and though separately confined, their spirits and struggles intersect dramatically. Rachel attempts to both run her order and tend to a beloved Mother General on the brink of death. Meanwhile, Phillip comes to the aid of a vulnerable inmate, precipitating a romantic bond that could prove fatal. Intricately structured and psychologically acute, this is a gripping novel exploring the balance between good and evil.
