About This Item
New York:: Farrar, Straus & Giroux,, (1992). Hardcover first edition -. Fine in fine dust jacket.. First printing. A book that goes to the heart of one of "least discussed issues of contemporary American life: the individual's search for faith. ..It begins as a grudging quest - not to find something, but to shake the indelible brand of a Catholic upbringing. In her search, she travels to the 'old world' of Catholicism, in Italy and France, a pilgrimage peopled with other pilgrims - crotchety English agnostics, American Franciscan friars and nuns, the surging crowds of Lourdes with their candles and incurable illnesses, but finally, on a visit to a monastery near the Lost Coast of Northern California, she is able to settle into the real goal of her search: the silence of prayer." 242 pp.
