The story of Megildis, a young nun of extraordinary beauty and gifted with a voice of astonishing purity and loveliness. The time and action is the late 18th century, and the place is Europe and America. On the surface, the novel is a story of curious adventures, an endlessly surprising life story of the woman eternal; yet, it becomes clear that in this vast and dramatic narrative the author has set out to explore the everlasting problem of good and evil and to seek the ultimate resolution of this problem in the mystery of faith.
