Description
“The Saint of Liars” (1992) is Энн Пэтчетт’s debut novel, launching her outstanding career.
Habit, Kentucky, 1968. The St. Elizabeth Shelter is a refuge for pregnant unmarried women and teenage girls.
Twenty-year-old Rose Clinton came here from California. She ran away from her husband, whom she’d lived with for nearly three years, when she realized she was pregnant but not happy—and was determined to never go back.
The shelter’s residents don’t stay there for long—after giving birth, they leave the children to the care of the nuns and depart, returning to their former lives.
Rose also plans to give up her child, believing she won’t be able to be a good mother. But when Cecilia is born, she discovers that letting go of her is more than she can bear.
