The sense of isolation and the double-edged sword of obedience are strong in this novel. The sound of the waves comes through the writing. The pace is slow, and the interactions are frustrating as we follow the development of relationships through hardship. I appreciate the reflective nature of this novel even as I'm not sure I would recommend it except in specific circumstances.

From my nightly read. #poetryandpsalms #nunlit #nunlitquarterly
The author attended the Benedictines‘ chanting of the Divine Office, which often included psalms.This brings to mind Louise Penny‘s book,The Beautiful Mystery.

Rereading Louise Penny because someone on Litsy said it was referenced in her latest book, The Grey Wolf- was it you Jill?
Actually finished both Historical Mysteries! Still listening to the audiobook.

I was reading the new Louise Penny book, but then it referenced this one so I hit pause on Grey Wolf and re-read this one. This is another good one from the early/middle part of the series, and I enjoyed it. Now back to Grey Wolf! (And yes you do get an explanation of the title.)
