Although Hansen's unique writing style lent a refreshing air to this quick read, the ending disappointed me. I felt it was predictable from the first page. Perhaps I'd heard too much hype about it.

Slow start, but keep reading. Beautiful writing style. A little thin for my tastes, but still interesting.

Mariette in Ecstasy is a stunning book about a French young woman's faith. It is hard to believe that a man wrote this poetic story. It is not the volume of words that makes this book so powerful, but the tremendously deep and emotional expression of Mariette's experiences as a cloistered novice. Beautifully written. Deeply moving.
