A lovely book.. .wise at heart & filled with colourful characters". (Joanne Harris author of Chocolat). Salley Vickers the top ten bestselling author of Miss Garnet's Angel & Dancing Backwards returns with The Cleaner of Chartres a perfect book club book for readers who loved Joanne Harris' Chocolat. 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. " Subtle & utterly joyous.. .a contemporary moral & psychological drama every bit as absorbing as Miss Garnet's Angel". (Sunday Times). "A magical & at times sinister story about love loss secrets & forgiveness.. .with Chocolat-type charm". (Scotland on Sunday). " If you're looking for a book to take you by surprise Salley Vickers' latest is the perfect choice". (Psychologies).
