ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

We would all like to live in a Muriel Spark novel, where nothing is what it seems to be; where everything seems fun and ingenious but also harsh and sinister.

The main character of this novel, Caroline Rose, is a recently converted to Catholicism writer-in-the-making, who hears voices. Specifically, the voice of the person writing this novel. She knows that she is a character in it and, luckily, the novel is fascinating, hilarious, and profound (although she will sometimes try to change the plot). Her companions are great too. Laurence, her partner, has a charming and seemingly harmless grandmother. But Caroline discovers that she might be dealing in diamonds, hiding them in bread loaves.

Muriel Spark, who also converted to Catholicism and suffered a nervous breakdown, wrote 22 effervescent, ultra-personal novels. Her career began with this story.
