Audio Book Summary

A New York Times Notable Book

Acclaimed author Ann Patchett's debut novel, hailed as 'beautifully written . . . a first novel that second- and third-time novelists would envy for its grace, insight, and compassion” (Boston Herald)

St. Elizabeth’s, a home for unwed mothers in Habit, Kentucky, usually harbors its residents for only a little while. Not so Rose Clinton, a beautiful, mysterious woman who comes to the home pregnant but not unwed, and stays. She plans to give up her child, thinking she cannot be the mother it needs. But when Cecilia is born, Rose makes a place for herself and her daughter amid St. Elizabeth’s extended family of nuns and an ever-changing collection of pregnant teenage girls. Rose’s past won’t be kept away, though, even by St. Elizabeth’s; she cannot remain untouched by what she has left behind, even as she cannot change who she has become in the leaving.

    Another great Patchett book. Her characters are always so richly drawn and she takes her time to tell a wonderful story. I can’t say I liked the main character of Rose, but dearly loved all the characters around her. Ann Patchett draws you in and makes it easy to care about them all. I highly recommend this book - and the reader. Both are great!

    This audiobook totally captured me… wanted to listen to, of my standing hours. Plot drew me in early on, and kept me engaged. Final end??? Figure for ourselves.
