We're delighted to host this return Elliott Bay visit by acclaimed popular British novelist Sarah Dunant. First known for her earlier Hannah Wolfe crime thrillers and other mysteries, she has been working on a different plane of mystery with her more recent, historically-set novels, The Birth of Venus and In the Company of the Courtesan. She is here tonight with her newest, Sacred Hearts (Random House). "Dunant's brilliant imagination is at its powerful best as she re-creates the routines, the crotchets and tiny details of convent life in 1570. The reader can hear the rustle of nuns' habits and the murmur of their prayers ... [a] captivating novel ... packed with complex relationships, passion, sorrow and religious devotion ... this novel unequivocally does what fiction is supposed to do and rarely does: It takes us to a place we could never personally experience. Dunant creates such a living and tangible environment, built on meticulous yet unobtrusive research, that she shares with us the joys and sorrows, the frustration and anger, the rebellion, submission, and sometimes even the presence of God." - The Washington Post.
