This was a delightful read! A woman is surprised to find that the Virgin Mary has come to visit her for a week, for a rest. It has lots of "Mariology" in it - the author obviously did a lot of research, but I wish it had more in the way of conversations, events and so on. Nevertheless, I'm glad I read it and I really enjoyed it.

Wonderful, engaging novel about a woman's encounter with Mary....in the present time. Lots of information about Marian apparitions in the notes at the end. I highly recommend this book.

The Virgin Mary drops in for a short stay with a present-day writer. I'd have liked the book better if more time had been spent on the interacton between those two, but it was interesting reading about Mary, miracles and female saints.

I was a little disappointed in this book. It was okay, but not what I expected. I thought it would be more of a novel type book and it started out that way, but all the history and explanations got to be a bit much for me. I only got about half-way through and lost interest.

This is a delightful book. After a hard day, this is a refreshing book to come to. Not preachy at all, it reinforces the beauty of Mary in a very real-person way. I'm not a catholic, I'm not a christian, and yet, I found this book a very pleasant and enjoyable read. For those who are Marians, this should be a must-read.
