A fascinating array of men and women hover in urgent orbit around them: the \"Count,\" a lonely Pole obsessively reliving his émigré father's patriotic anguish; Tim Reede, a seedy yet appealing artist, and Daisy, his mistress; the manipulative Mrs. Mount; and many other magically drawn characters moving between desire and obligation, guilt and joy. This edition of Nuns and Soldiers includes a new introduction by renowned religious historian Karen Armstrong.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51666704335136,"sku":"NEW0142180092","price":25.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71NYw3swIvL.jpg?v=1778945567","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/nuns-and-soldiers-penguin-twentieth-century-classics-0142180092","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
