- Summary:
- "At a desolate monastery off the coast of Wales, the pilgrims vanish one by one... This mesmerizing tale is woven around two characters: Vane, an emissary sent by the bishop to investigate the disappearance of a number of pilgrims on their way to the island's miraculous well; and the abbot, who dissects cadavers in his determined search for the physical location of the human soul. But the mystery at the heart of this haunting novel has to do with much more than these two quests: as Vane searches obsessively for the pilgrims, he sees that the boundaries between body and soul, and between life and death, blur and mingle." -- back cover.
