In this haunting volume of three novella-length stories, Moore explores three characters, each drawn into a life of celibacy. The book features Mildred Lawson, the pretty but selfish woman who is plagued by the worry that her husband married her for money alone; John Norton, a would-be monk who finds his only passion in religious fanaticism; and Agnes Lahens, a timid woman who enters the convent as a means of self-protection.
Об авторе
George Augustus Moore (1852-1933) was a pioneering modern Irish writer. He had to fight against censorship early in his career. Despite the powerful forces arrayed against him, Moore succeeded in establishing realism as a legitimate literary mode. His best-known novels include A Mummer’s Wife (1885) and Esther Waters (1894).
