Bearing meaning through time like Cloud Atlas, as disruptive of gender as The Passion of New Eve, the ground tilled by St Ciaran's multiple narrators is the urgent cultural interface of religion \u0026amp; the body.\u003cbr\u003e- Eoghan Walls, author of \u003cem\u003eThe Gospel of Orla\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExciting and Provocative.\u003cbr\u003e- Toby Litt, author of \u003cem\u003eA Writer's Diary\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntricate, compelling and clever - I loved this book.\u003cbr\u003e- Jenn Ashworth, author of \u003cem\u003eGhosted: A Love Story\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 348\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.78 x 7.81 x 5.06 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 20, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49358250115211,"sku":"9781963614190","price":33.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/2579\/7259\/files\/A8mEsl_-cp9781963614190.webp?v=1789300346","url":"https:\/\/thetaletrade.com\/products\/the-three-lives-of-st-ciaran-paperback","provider":"The Tale Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
