In this novel, Henrietta, an unlikely mystic, attempts to make peace with the dead in her life by telling their stories. She is accompanied by a would-be monk. Her "meditations" weirdly intersect with his–in the racially divided and bohemian Boston of the 1960s. Henrietta, confused by the spectacle of her own life, channels the insights of saints East and West with heartbreaking clarity.
