Fleeing the grief of losing a much-loved sister in childbirth and the pressure to marry, she decides to renounce the world, with all its dangers, desires, and temptations, and to commit herself to a life of prayer. But it soon becomes clear that even the thick, unforgiving walls of her cell cannot keep the outside world away, and Sarah's body and soul are still in great danger. Robyn Cadwallader's powerful debut novel tells anabsorbing, entirely human, and compulsively readable story of faith, desire, shame, fear, and the very human need for connection and touch. Compelling, evocative, and haunting, The Anchoress is both quietly heartbreaking and thrillingly unpredictable"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "A debut novel, set in 1255, about a young woman who chooses to become an anchoress, which means shutting herself away in a small cell by the side of the village church for the rest of her life and devoting herself to prayer"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Young women $z England $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Monasticism and religious orders for women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Hermits $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y 13th century $v Fiction. 650 7 $a FICTION / Historical. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Literary. $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 856 42 $3 Cover image $u http://www.netread.com/jcusers2/bk1388/252/9780374104252/image/lgcover.9780374104252.jpg 941 $a 12 952 $l AWPD207 $d 20230209013920.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204080524.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110062439.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20191211011759.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20190717030020.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006085045.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171227052110.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826113438.0 952 $l TGPD826 $d 20151031010254.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20150902020253.0 952 $l PRAX771 $d 20150702020956.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20150619014305.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=509A9B48D8FE11E4BC6E09BDDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
