Sister Liberty - Paperback

by Gregory Hill (Author)

Their American Dream was simply to survive. They managed considerably more than that.

In 1885, murderous circumstances force two lesbian widows and a child-philosopher to flee their French village for a new life in Indiana, USA. There, they are welcomed by the Solemnites, a benvolent, quasi-cult that forbids pleasure.

Life is upended when the Solemnites are tapped to host the All-Tent Revival which bills itself as a "multi-denominational marketplace for God." A better description would be "a time-bomb composed of two-hundred rival factions of late-19th-century American crack-pot religious sects."

Three guesses as to who sets off that bomb.

As satiric as it is thought-provoking, this acerbic tale of enlightenment delights. - Publishers Weekly
