Book excerpt: âWithout hope, a dream is a wretched curse that only fools endeavor.â  Mrs. Devlinâs son, Roderick, is expelled from the parishâs only school, one run by a deliciously wicked Mother Superior.Mrs. Devlin sees his re-admission as both his ticket out of the inevitable village tedium and as proof that she is worthy ofâ¦something, finally.Sheâll stop at nothing to see him schooled, quickly realizing sex and subversion are tools not only the Church can wield with knife-edge precision. âRory dâEon writes a sensual tale of a motherâs boundless ambition. His lyrical prose captivates as well as compels.â Sylvia McNicoll, author of Last Chance for Paris
