I am always impressed when an author can instill a sense of quiet in his or her work--which works to this particular novel's advantage since Mary needs a "break from it all", and a place to relax and do some laundry. Having gone to a Catholic school (although Presbyterian), I really loved being reminded of the holiness of everyday things. Mary was a real woman in this book, but the retelling of various of her appearances throughout the years also seemed humanized as a result. I find myself returning to this book every so often, when I need a break myself.
