"This is the Abbey of Mont St Michel - crowning glory of medieval architecture. Not only a shrine, it is also a fortress set boldly on a great rock in the Atlantic Ocean. At low tide the causeway to the French mainland is passable; at high tide the water submerges it, and the Abbey becomes an island. This modern novel tells of a drama enacted within the stone walls of the incredible structure that man and nature have created here - a drama of a man and a woman, of strong opposing forces and lofty aspiration. .
