With more twists and turns than an Agatha Christie mystery, the story turns on the conspiracies of this religious sect, driven to extremes by the prophecies of a mad Clerkenwell nun. The result is a gothic novel which effortlessly merges fact and fiction into an almost recognizable alternate history.〔http://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/31/books/review/31PYEL.html?_r=0〕
