There is something special about the ancient cathedral of Chartres with its mismatched spires astonishing stained glass & strange labyrinth & there is something special too about Agnes Morel the mysterious woman who is to be found cleaning it each morning No one quite knows where she came from
- not the diffident Abbe Paul who discovered her one morning twenty years ago sleeping in the north porch; nor lonely Professor Jones whose chaotic existence she helps to organise; nor Philippe Nevers whose neurotic sister & newborn child she cares for; nor even the irreverent young restorer Alain Fleury who works alongside her each day & whose attention she catches with her tawny eyes her colourful clothes & elusive manner & yet everyone she encounters would surely agree that she is subtly transforming their lives even if they couldn't quite say how But with a chance meeting in the cathedral one day the spectre of Agnes' past returns provoking malicious rumours from the prejudiced Madame Beck & her gossipy companion Madame Picot As the hearsay grows uglier Agnes is forced to confront her history & the mystery of her origins finally unfolds The Cleaner of Chartres is a compelling story of darkness & light; of traumatic loss & second chances Told with a sparkling wit & captivating charm but infused throughout with deeper truths it speaks of the power of love & mercy to transform the tragedies of the past
