Novel of intrigue that, insofar as the tone and style go moves along the usual line of this author. The moral permissiveness of the characters is evident, but this doesn’t translate into inappropriate descriptions. Nevertheless, given the fact that Higgins normally avoids thorny situations, it is surprising that an important part of the plot revolves around the story of a nun who is about to be beatified, but who had a child when she was a novice.
