This gentle read tells the story of Agnes Morel, a young woman who appeared in Chartres one day and has been cleaning for a living for nearly 20 years. After unintentionally angering the town's most malicious gossip, Agnes is forced to consider the reason she came to Chartres so long ago. While the novel flips between the past and the present, you finally learn the sad, and ultimately hopeful, history behind Agnes elusive façade.
