Sobre este artículo
Toronto, ON: HarperFlamingo Canada, 2001-05. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 9x6x1. Signed. No Stock Photos! We photograph every item. 349 pages; Signed by the author on the title page; some light edge wear to jacket and boards; The Virgin Mary, in slacks and sneakers, arrives for a visit at the suburban home of a middle-aged writer. When pressed, she agrees to let her hostess write a fictionalized version of the details of her stay, which includes not only the mundane events of daily life (going to the mall, reading the newspaper) but also Mary's and the narrator's thoughts on life, faith, science, miracles, and the connection between fact and fiction.
Sinopsis
One Monday morning in April, a middle-aged writer walks into her living room to water the plants and finds a woman standing beside her potted fig tree. Dressed in a navy blue trench coat and white Nikes, the woman introduces herself as "Mary. Mother of God.... You know. Mary." Instead of a golden robe or a crown, she arrives bearing a practical wheeled suitcase. Weary after two thousand years of adoration and petition, Mary is looking for a little R & R. She's asked in for lunch, and decides to stay a week. As the story of their visit unfolds, so does the story of Mary-one of the most complex and powerful female figures of our time-and her changing image in culture, art, history, as well as the thousands of recorded sightings that have placed her everywhere from a privet hedge to the dented bumper of a Camaro. As this Everywoman and Mary become friends, their conversations, both profound and intimate, touch upon Mary's significance and enduring relevance. Told with humor and grace, Our Lady of the Lost and Found is an absorbing tour through Mary's history and a thoughtful meditation on spirituality, our need for faith, and our desire to believe in something larger than ourselves.
