Description:
Desfigurada por el golpe de un marido maltratador, y afectada por una ansiedad insuperable que la obliga a evitar cualquier contacto social, Mary MacAllister pasa casi sesenta anos encerrada en una mansion de marmol blanco, en las afueras de la pequena ciudad de Mill River, en Vermont, en el extremo noreste de Estados Unidos. Sus vinculos con el mundo exterior son contados: el correo, los periodicos, el padre OBrien, un viejo cura con el vicio de robar cucharitas, y una ventana del dormitorio desde la puede contemplar la ciudad que se extiende mas abajo. La mayor parte de los antiguos residentes de Mill River consideran la mansion y su moradora una curiosidad. Muy pocos vieron a Mary alguna vez. Los recien llegados, un oficial de policia y su hija, y una maestra de escuela, tambien se sienten intrigados por la anciana encerrada en su gran casa vacia. Pero solo el padre OBrien conoce realmente a Mary y sus secretos. El mayor secreto de todos, una vez revelado, cambiara la vida de todo el pueblo. / Disfigured by the blow of an abusive husband, and suffering her entire life with severe social anxiety disorder, the widow Mary McAllister spends almost sixty years secluded in a white marble mansion overlooking the town of Mill River, Vermont. Her links to the outside world are few: the mail, the media, an elderly priest with a guilty habit of pilfering spoons, and a bedroom window with a view of the town below. Most longtime residents of Mill River consider the marble house and its occupant peculiar, though insignificant, fixtures. Newcomers to Mill River are also curious about the reclusive old woman. But only Father Michael OBrien knows Mary and the secret she keeps, one that, once revealed, will change all of their lives forever.
