  • "A quiet presence in the small French town of Chartres, Agnès Morel can be found cleaning the famed medieval cathedral each morning. No one knows where she came from or why. Not Abbé Paul, who discovered her sleeping on the porch twenty years ago, and not Alain Fleury, the irreverent young restorer who works alongside her each day. She has transformed each of their lives in her own subtle way, yet no one suspects the dark secret Agnès is hiding."
  • "From the author of Miss Garnet?s Angel There is something very special about Agn?s Morel. A quiet presence in the small French town of Chartres, she can be found cleaning the famed medieval cathedral each morning and doing odd jobs for the townspeople. No one knows where she came from or why. Not Abb? Paul, who discovered her one morning twenty years ago, sleeping on the north porch, and not Alain Fleury, the irreverent young restorer who works alongside her each day and whose attention she catches with her tawny eyes and elusive manner. She has transformed each of their lives in her own subtle way, yet no one suspects the dark secret Agn?s is hiding. When an accidental encounter dredges up a series of tragic incidents from Agn?s?s youth, the nasty meddling of town gossips threatens to upend the woman?s simple, peaceful life. Her story reveals a terrible loss, a case of mistaken identity, and a cruel and violent act that haunts her past. Agn?s wrestles with her own sense of guilt and enduring heartbreak while the citizens piece together the truth about her life."@en
  • "With her dark skin, her colourful clothes and her curious manner, Agnes Morel catches the eye of everyone she encounters. Before long she is cleaning for the Abbe Paul in the cathedral, organising lonely Professor Jones's chaotic papers and helping Philippe Nevers with his irresponsible sister and her newborn child. At the same time, she bewitches the local painter Robert Clement with her topaz eyes and captures the heart of Alain, the handsome restorer who works alongside her in the cathedral each morning. Little by little, day by day, she has a magical effect on each of their lives. But the mystery of Agnes's origins leads the jealous Madame Beck and her gossiping companion Madame Picot to all sorts of schemes and speculations. As the rumours grow stronger, Agnes is eventually forced to come to terms with her own traumatic past."@en
