<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><br><strong>REVIEWS</strong> <p/>"I read it straight through. I'm not confident that I even breathed while reading it. The novel is a wonder! Formally, literarily, and spiritually, it's just staggering. Wise and absorbing. Reading LITTLE HOURS, I had the all too rare experience of losing the self-conscious awareness that I was reading; I was, instead, simply and suddenly placed in a world that was both familiar and unfamiliar to me. What a gift." <p/> -<strong>Lauren F. Winner</strong>, author of <em>Girl Meets God</em> <p/>"What characters they are: finely drawn, indelibly comic, charming, irascible, forbidding, wise. And foolish, as we all are, in most compelling, most believable, ways. Beautiful writing and penetrating intelligence . . . [reminding us] sometimes wayward paths end up being the surest." <p/> -<strong>Carlene Bauer</strong>, author of<em> Frances and Bernard</em> <p/>"Gorgeously written. Lil Copan's luminous new book will do wonders for your soul." <p/> -<strong>James Martin</strong>, author of <em>Building a Bridge</em> <p/>"Little Hours is immediately funny, intimate, and soul-tending. From the first exchange of letters, you love the women writing them. You realize that their questions, desires, and temptations are your own, so you hang on every word, waiting to learn and grow along with these beautiful characters. This book is so true, and so gentle and loving in its truth telling." <p/> -<strong>Vinita Hampton Wright</strong>, author of <em>Velma Still Cooks in Leeway</em> <p/><br><strong>BOOK DESCRIPTION</strong> <p/>When Miriam-restless, and longing for something she cannot name-picks up a copy of <em>Sister Bird's Guide to Small Birds</em> she finds on the last page an invitation from the Sisters at St. Hildegard Monastery on Plover Point-"we gladly respond to questions about the life of birds and the life of faith." <p/>Debut novelist Lil Copan brings us a book for birdwatchers, coffee drinkers, baseball fans, bumper-sticker readers, animal lovers and all those who care about<strong><em> life's most piercing, unanswerable, tender, humanizing questions.</em></strong> <p/>One set of letters over the course of two years reveals deep internal conflicts, a small farm on the verge of going under, a nun with a gambling addiction, and another with a profound secret that might upend everything the community worked so hard for. <p/>When an innocent birding question begins this special correspondence, what emerges is <strong><em>a revelatory journey of the spirit.</em></strong> <p/><br>
