Fiction
Writing with the telegraphic swiftness and microscopic
sensitivity that have made her one of our most distinguished
journalists, Joan Didion creates a shimmering novel of
innocence and evil. A Book of Common Prayer is the story of two American women
in the derelict Central American nation of Boca Grande.
Grace Strasser-Mendana controls much of the country's wealth
and knows virtually all of its secrets; Charlotte Douglas
knows far too little. "Immaculate of history, innocent of
politics," she has come to Boca Grande vaguely and vainly
hoping to be reunited with her fugitive daughter. As
imagined by Didion, her fate is at once utterly particular
and fearfully emblematic of an age of conscienceless
authority and unfathomable violence.
