When Alice, shy, dumpy, and unhappy, wanders the City of London during her lunch hour, she stumbles into a situation which will revolutionise her life. She discovers a modern but mysterious healing centre and is drawn inexorably into the lives of the people who work there.
There's Lewis, the irascible traditionalist, a priest of the old school who has problems dealing with women, homosexuals and the liberal spirit of the age; Rosalind, who appears so glamorous and successful but is in truth unhappy and unfulfilled; Francie, a woman who may or may not be deluded but who yearns above all to be loved; and finally Nicholas, the flawed priest at the centre of it all.
With its focus on healing, 'The Wonder Worker' is a rich, rewarding, thoughtful and utterly compelling modern novel with confirms Susan Howatch's reputation as the greatest storyteller of her age.
