    Ho terminato di leggere il romanzo ieri notte, difficile staccarsi dalla lettura, ma viste le bellissime riflessioni che alcuni protagonisti offrono sarebbe bene meditarle con calma.
    Padre Ariel narra con uno stile avvincente e molto originale le drammatiche vicende vissute dalle suore Carmelitane durante il periodo delterrore” revolutionary.
    Grazie allimmedesimazione profonda con il personaggio del cappellano gesuita l’autore è riuscito a dare risposte profonde e molto convincenti agli interrogativi delle suore che sono poi gli stessi di chi vive drammi legati al dolore e a una fede che è umana e quindi condizionata da dubbi e paure.
    Moreover, sembrerà strano, ma si ravvisano molte similitudini tra la persecuzione dell’epoca e quella attuale.
    Ora nelle mie preghiere mi raccomando anche queste coraggiose e simpatiche suore.
    Unica mia pecca il fare confusione tra i nomi delle protagoniste.
