It is 1997. As a new millennium approaches, Michaela buries her old life on a Welsh hillside and begins her mission.
When Dorian, a freelance photographer for the tabloids, is sent to cover the ‘Michaela phenomenon’, he finds himself transfixed by her presence. Jaded and adrift, Dorian knows only the realities captured by his camera until Michaela opens to him a world of visions and revelations. But who is she: truly God’s instrument or simply a charlatan?
For all her inexplicable gifts of healing and foresight, Michaela is also capable of implacable cruelty and dictatorial caprice, even to those she values most. And as her mission spirals towards its disturbing climax, Dorian asks whether human love, however messy and imperfect, should outweigh divine truth.
A gripping novel that questions our perceptions of humanity and divinity, representation and reality, madness and sanity.
