A lavishly praised bestseller through seven printings and 35,000 copies in print, Mariette in Ecstasy is the provocatively rendered story of a young postulant's claim to divine possession and religious ecstasy. "There's more to this book than breathtaking descriptions; there's also a cliffhanger of a story".--New York Times Book Review.
