Set in the Middle Ages THE MIRACLE THIEF is the story of three women. One is a nun, Sister Julia at the cathedral of St. Catherine, the other is a woman Anna who has serious physical deformities and the third is Princess Gisele. This is a wonderful story exploring the lives of the women and the choices they have made and must make to survive in those times. You are struck by the difference in the way women live now and how they lived in the Middle Ages. A princess was destined to marry in order to make her father's kingdom stronger. Women were driven to be nuns when they had no place else to go. And people with physical deformities were thought to have made God angry. This story touches your heart as you become part of it watching as their lives intertwine.
I really enjoyed THE MIRACLE THIEF, it made me laugh, cry and want to help these women be true to their selves. Iris Anthony wrote a superb story that is a romance but not in the traditional way THE MIRACLE THIEF is so much more. It is the story of how the choices people make really do affect the world around them and how believing in miracles can make them come true. THE MIRACLE THIEF is a really good read that fans of genera's will enjoy.
Sister Juliana
does. She's seen miracles happen as she tends Saint
Catherine's altar and guards her relic. Yet she doesn't
quite dare to believe that even Saint Catherine could help
her atone for her wicked past.
Anna does. And she so
desperately needs one. In a time when a deformity is
interpreted as evidence of a grievous sin, in a place where
community is vital to existence, Anna has no family, no
home, and no master.
Princess Gisele wants to. A
miracle is the only thing that can save her from being given
to a brutal, pagan chieftain in marriage.
For those
who come in faith, saints offer the answer to almost any
prayer. But other forces are plotting to steal Saint
Catherine's relic, to bend the saint's power to their own
use. Penitent, pilgrim, princess — all will be drawn into an
epic struggle where only faith can survive. But in a quest
for divine blessing, only the most ruthless of souls may win
the prize.
