"There's a timelessness about The Cleaner of Chartres...Vickers draws on an intimate understanding of human behavior."--The Bookseller
"Vickers has taken myth, religion, and secular humanism, and turned them into substantial life-affirming fiction." --The Philadelphia Inquirer
"A heartbreaking novel and, yes, a love story. If you enjoy the work of Marilynne Robinson, Penelope Fitzgerald, James Salter, or Anita Brookner, you should be reading Vickers."--The Washington Post Book World
"A smart, haunting exploration of love and loss."--The New York Observer
"A former psychologist herself, Vickers brings an erudite precision and an elegant perception to her lyrically poetic testament to the vitality of love and the human capacity to both seek out and run from its ennobling grace."--Booklist
"Entertains even as it considers serious questions of sin and redemption, love and loss, what we venture in this life and the reckonings we may face in the great beyond." --Francine Prose, People
"A book to place on the shelf next to Marilynne Robinson's haunting Housekeeping and Penelope Fitzgerald's serene The Blue Flower....Harold Bloom once observed that a sense of strangeness in a work of art was one likely sign of greatness. Instances of the Number 3 possesses such an utterly assured, if quiet originality." --Michael Dirda, Crisis
"A testament to the craftiness and generosity of spirit of the author, whom one hopes to hear from much more." --The Seattle Times
"Salley Vickers has a gift for making the most unlikely settings for fiction absolutely compelling....She is a brave writer....Fresh, intriguing, and enlightening." --The Independent(London)

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. If you enjoy the work of Marilynne Robinson, Penelope Fitzgerald, James Salteryou should be reading Vickers. Michael Dirda, The Washington Post Book World There is something very special about Agnes Morel. A quiet presence in the small French town of Chartres, she can usually be found cleaning the famed medieval cathedral or doing odd jobs for the townspeople. No one knows where she came from or why. Not diffident Abbe Paul, nor lonely Professor Jones, nor even Alain Fleury, whose attention she catches with her tawny eyes. She has transformed all their lives in her own subtle way, yet no one suspects the dark secret Agnes is hiding. Then an accidental encounter dredges up the specter of her past, and the nasty meddling of town gossips forces Agnes to confront her tragic history and the violent act that haunts it.
