A daring and magical novel which explores religious faith, sexuality and motherhood.
Set in France in the late 1700s in a period of great political and social unrest, 'We Too Shall Be Mothers' tells the story of a young novice nun called Marie-France. She is a "modern" woman for her time, at odds with her vocation, and we travel with her as she constantly struggles with spiritual, existential and sexual crises.
With rich imagery and masterful writing, the novel explores the notions of religious belief, the mother, female sexuality, fertility and childbirth, in a fluid, surrealistic and sometimes dreamlike fashion. It's roots are firmly in the European modernist and post-modernist tradition, but it is a unique, powerful and compelling story which will stay in the minds and hearts of every reader.
