The Abbess of Crewe Zusammenfassung

The Abbess of Crewe Muriel Spark

It is time to elect a new abbess at the Convent of Crewe. There are two contenders: nuns Alexandra and Felicity. Alexandra is busy bugging the convent while Felicity calls the police when her love letters (to a young Jesuit priest) are stolen. A brilliant laugh-out-loud satire on the Watergate scandal.

This is one of the 22 novels written by Muriel Spark in her lifetime. All are being published by Polygon in hardback Centenary Editions between November 2017 and September 2018.

The Abbess of Crewe Bewertungen

'As I entered my teens, I developed a taste for more arch, snappy writing and discovered the joys of Muriel Spark. Wisdom and wit - ideal for an impressionable youth finding his way in the world'

-- Julian Clary * Daily Mail *

'With her wildly comic fiction Spark alerts us to the workings of surveillance, the workings of politically expedient narrative structures, and the powerplay in the seductions of fiction'

-- Ali Smith * The Guardian *
