'A luminous new novel based on the life of the mystic visionary, teacher, musician and healer Hildegard of Bingen and her medieval Rhineland world. Set in the spring of 1148, in a damp, obscure monastery in the Rhineland, a frail woman lies upon her sickbed, her book of divine visions incomplete. Travelling reluctantly towards the Abbey is the man, charged with the mission of saving the much desired work of revelations. His is a journey spiralling inwards to the place where the prophet lies, apparently silenced and crushed, but spiritually powerful still . . .'.
