Brother Petroc’s Return by S.M.C.
Recommended to me by a priest friend recently here in Rome. I found it on Amazon.it and read it in one evening. Charming.
No doubt S. M.C = Sr. Mary Catherine. She wrote quite a few book and this is the most popular.
In some ways it is like The Life of Little Saint Placid, originally in French, by Mother Geneviève Gallois. US HERE – UK HERE They both have a “dialogue” with the modern world.
Another interesting thing about the Brother Petroc’s Return is that it id “edited” by the Dominican Sisters of Summit… Summit!
The soap sisters.
It is indeed a charming book.
I have a copy of the original lurking somewhere which I read many years ago. I did notice that the Dominican sisters of Summit stock it in their own shop, which would benefit them?
