Fleeing the grief of losing a much-loved sister as well as the pressure to marry, she decides to renounce the world--with all its dangers, desires, and temptations--and commit herself to a life of prayer. But when she starts hearing the voice of the previous anchoress whispering to her, seemingly from the stones themselves, it soon becomes clear that even the thick, unforgiving walls of Sarah's cell cannot protect her as well as she had thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn absorbing story of faith, desire, shame, fear, and the human need for connection, \u003ci\u003eThe Anchoress \u003c\/i\u003eby Robyn Cadwallader is a haunting and compelling novel: both quietly heartbreaking and thrillingly unpredictable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Picador USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250094674\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Robyn Cadwallader","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36648581103772,"sku":"9781250094674","price":20.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_b073f070-00b8-4615-87b2-4bbd3c290f3c.jpg?v=1603870451","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-anchoress-9781250094674","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
