The Veil of Veronica
Description:
The Veil of Veronica, first published in English in 1931, is simultaneously a brilliant novel and a compelling confession of faith. The story is that of Veronica: a young, motherless German girl living with her aristocratic grandmother and her religious aunt in the heart of the Eternal City. Veronica is poised between the pagan and Christian worlds, torn between zeal for life and the call of grace. In her account of Veronica’s coming-of-age and conversion experience, von Le Fort presents a vision of the interplay of nature and grace that possesses monumental strength, emotional integrity, and tremendous poignancy.Lyrical and deeply moving, The Veil of Veronica is a stunning debut work: its spirit prodigious; its appeal undeniable; and its characters unforgettable.
