After more than twenty years, Sister Mary Hilary runs away from the strict Norfolk convent which she entered at the age of seventeen; hits the crowds of London on chaotic Christmas Eve. She has never handled money, never dressed in anything but long medieval robes, yet now she is confronted with superstores and towering blocks, confused by noise and neon, jostled by the rude mob battling home.
She has no home, no plans, no prospects; has lived for God alone. Can she survive in the greedy, permissive and amoral outside world where media hype runs riot, a celibate priest seduces her, and even a Charismatic Conference seems a hotbed of hysteria?
In Devils, for a Change , Wendy Perriam takes a sharp, controversial look at modern society through the eyes of a thirty-nine-year-old adolescent who knows nothing of life or men. Once Christ's Virgin Bride, she now gropes for a sense of identity and attempts to navigate the new pleasures of friendship, sensuality and love, ultimately finding healing in a haunting and unexpected finale
Genre: General Fiction
