A STRANGE & BEAUTIFUL SOUND HC

William chose silence 25 years ago when he joined the Carthusian religious order. When an inheritance forces him to leave the monastery for Paris, he must master a whole new world and question certainties forged long ago. He meets Méry, a young woman whose days are numbered due to an incurable illness, and who is resolutely decided on making the most of the time she has left. Now William must face new questions-Where is life's value? In the struggles, or in the peace?-and complicate his choices in a powerful story that truly addresses the meaning of life.
