### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    'The cleaner of Chartres', Sally Vickers
  

*by M***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 1, 2013*

What a pleasure to read! The plot is satisfyingly intricate and original. Vickers convincingly  manages to weave  together enlightening detail from history and mythology, provocative perceptions of religion, and sharp comment on society, all of which enrich Agnes' unique story.The author understands human complexities.  Agnes is not an ordinary character, though her issues, identity, relationships, justice and trust, are universally engaging.  She was abandoned at birth and Vickers  reveals grim aspects of such a start to life. Though in much smaller ways for most of us,  we connect to hardships, injustices and battles, and any triumphs along the way.Vickers successfully made me care about what had happened and what would happen to Agnes.  Agnes is a simple, self-contained, resilient character, constant amidst curiosity and rumour - until, finally, the balance is tipped.  She has a spiritual quality and we become aware of an intellectual depth below her simple exterior, a depth perceived by only those around her who are not confined to conventional judgements. In fact, convention is held up for scrutiny in many ways, in this story.My only reservation about the book is in the resolution between Agnes and Alain.  I felt Vickers hadn't quite sorted this point. Fleetingly, this part of the story generated flashbacks to the forbidden, under-the-desk-top reading in the formulaic romance era stage of my youth.  But that was just a brief moment or two out of a thoroughly satisfying read.This was a book that kept me reading when I really ought to have been doing other things.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Enjoyable story with real characters.
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 23, 2020*

The story flowed well within Chartres France, with the Chartres Cathedral the focal point of the action. Realistic,  characters made the story interesting. Because the cathedral is so historically unique, a  picture with some history would help readers who are not knowledgeable about it.

    History on a broom and cleaning rag
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 15, 2013*

This is almost an absorbing book. The author has woven history and fiction very well, and tourists who have visited Chartres Notre Dame Cathedral will no doubt enjoy the background information just a little bit more than those who would like to visit the town. This is not a criticism, by any means, I found the historical information to be well integrated into the story.And the story is a good one. Agnes as the central figure is strong enough to hold it together without taking over from the other interesting characters. wWe want to know her real origins, and Sally Vickers keeps us reading in order to find out. The other characters are well drawn and interesting - particularly the religious orders. I have read 'Miss Garnett's Angel' by the same author, and I think this book just shades it as being the better of the two.
