      Entre tabernas, humo, whisky, poderosas congregaciones religiosas y dudosas obras de caridad, el Dublín de los años 50 esconde terribles secretos. Por los pasillos de los orfanatos y tras los pasos de silenciosas monjas de centros que acogen a mujeres embarazadas de las clases más desfavorecidas de la ciudad, crece una tenebrosa red de tráfico de niños. Solo un patólogo, perdido entre sus propios sentimientos de culpa, será capaz de enfrentarse a los oscuros planes que está maquinando algunos miembros de las más poderosas familias junto a las más altas esferas de la iglesia católica. Todo va ser cuestión de fe

    • The story of a teenage girl who sees a vision of the Virgin Mary. Ann Holmes seems an unlikely candidate for revelation. A sixteen-year-old runaway, she is an itinerant mushroom picker who lives in a tent. Her past has been hardscrabble. Then one November afternoon, in the foggy woods of North Fork, Washington, the Virgin comes to her, clear as day. Is this delusion, a product of her occasional drug use, or a true calling to God? Gradually word spreads, and thousands converge upon the already troubled town. For Tom Cross, an embittered logger who's been out of work since his son was paralyzed in a terrible accident, the possibility that Ann's visions are real offers a last chance for him and his son. As Father Collins searches both his own soul and Ann's; as Carolyn struggles with her less than admirable intentions; as Tom alternates between despair and hope; OUR LADY OF THE FOREST combines suspense, grit and humour in a story of faith at a contemporary crossroad.
