Nothing about Clémentine, unbaptized agnostic, feminist 2.0, and vegetarian ecologist, hinted that she would investigate Saint Marguerite-Marie Alacoque, a 17th century mystic and apostle of the Sacré Cœur. But here’s the thing: according to family legend, the nun is a grandmother. Meanwhile Clémentine is pregnant, and her beloved grandmother is losing her memory… It’s time to go in search of her roots.
In this beautifully written true story, Clémentine tells us with a humour as benevolent as it is devastating, her discovery of the Catholic world; and above all, she offers us a real encounter, powerful and offbeat, with the visionary of Paray-le-Monial.
