Forced by circumstance to seek refuge with Fleur, her young daughter, in the remote abbey of Sainte 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, 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...

RELEASE NOTES:

Released to Chryso, Michigan - Relay release. Airmail.

Received from Sterile as part of an international BookRelay. Thanks, Sterile! I look forward to reading it.

I enjoyed the first part: the caravans, descriptions of towns & performances, the mayhem that led Juliette to take refuge in the abbey, and even the early days in the abbey. The rest was downhill for me. Most of the latter half had me slapping my forehead. Overall, I give Holy Fools a so-so rating, but I'm glad I read it; I've enjoyed other works by Harris, and will continue to read her work. Again, thank you for sending this to me, Sterile!

Controlled release, mailed on May 9, to FamFatale for the Bookaholics Relay Sweeps #1. This book was on her Wish List. Enjoy, FamFatale!

Thanks so very much !! I have been anxious to read this and I did indeed have it on my wishlist. The bookmark was lovely, but I know I have to pass it on. My mother collects dolphins of all kinds and she will go absolutely wild. I think I will pass it on in her anniversary card. I hope you don't mind.
