Product Description
In a thin place, according to legend, the membrane separating this world from the spirit world is almost nonexistent. The small New England town of Varennes is such a place, and Kathryn Davis transports us there - revealing a surprising pageant of life as, in the course of one summer, Varennes' tranquillity is shattered by the arrival of a threatening outsider, worldly and otherworldly forces come into play, and a young local girl finds her miraculous gift for resurrecting the dead tested by the conflict between logic and wish.

Cheryl Fox (USA: VA) (2009/07/03):
Reviews from back of book:
"The Thin Place combines elements that ought to be unmixable; it is metaphysically exploratory, psychologically questioning, and full of suspense. It is the work of the writer at the top of her form.' - Mary Gordon"Davis, bless her, assumes her readers are intelligent people who are interested in what they are reading." - Ann Paatchett
