Kick-ass Heroine
This is a book about assumptions, about misunderstandings and miscommunication. It is a critique of the period as well as a portrait of it. It contains some of the most engaging and unforgettable characters in literature. I highly recommend it.

Period gothic drama on superstition v science
A very good modern period gothic drama about how a town can convince itself about a mythical beast while confronting contemporary science.
In the centre of the entire story is a beautiful but complex relationship between a woman of science and a priest who on most occasions disagree with one another but learn to come to terms with each other's viewpoints. And in between their relationship is a withering wife and her autistic son. A multilayered novel rich with substance.
