CATHOLIC CURIOSITY

Published the year before her conversion to Catholicism, The Kitchen Madonna is seeped in Rumer Godden's religious curiosity, like many of her popular works including Black Narcissus. Gregory, a young boy whose intrigue mirrors Godden's own, tries to help his housemaid Marta build a little shrine for the Madonna and her Son.
