Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrow – Synopsis
Vatican II has recently been implemented, the Age of Aquarius is about to dawn and Cassie Crawford longs to take off her navy wool jumper and tag along with the gang of kids in colorful clothes headed for the public school.
This novel in thirteen connected and stand-alone stories follows Cassie Crawford through eight scary and mystifying years at Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrow Grade School and beyond, as she strives to catch up with the world around her; grow comfortable in her own skin; and avoid an eternity in hell.
‘Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrow’ is a depiction of 1960’s–1970’s suburban America, seen through the eyes of a developing young girl, narrated by the adult looking back. Sexuality, clergy abuse, body image, repression, morality and mortality are amongst the themes explored.
