Publisher's Summary
In a quaint, antiquarian bookshop in the Midlands of England, a woman is captivated by a rare gilt-edged devotional nestled within an exquisite and equally tempting box. Her desire to pilfer it overcomes her scruples, and her guilt and terror at doing something so audacious, so unlike her. With a simple sleight of hand, it's hers.
But this irresistible book of hours isn't in her possession for long. By chance, desire, and cruel twists of fate, it soon falls into the covetous grip of others - from a pickpocket to a schoolboy to a priest - as one woman's transgression sets in motion a dreadful chain of events.
Short but maybe not so sweet
What an interesting little tale! An amuse bouche. Something to clear the palate between longer reads. Well written. Simple, nothing fussy but deep if you want to take the time to look for it.
Three and a half stars.
