Publisher info:
The Song of the Lark tells the story of the growth of a family in God. When Mother Agnes (formerly Sister Agnes), an Anglican Franciscan nun, began a new life on the remote Scottish island of Fetlar, she laid the foundations for a small community. The people of this community have dedicated themselves to a simple life of prayer and work. As a response to the island's breathtaking scenery, there is a strong Celtic element woven into the story. The ebb and flow of nature is matched by the rhythm of the Church's year in the constant prayer offered by the Sisters. Beautifully illustrated by Mother Agnes' own delightful drawings of island life, The Song of the Lark will be of much interest to all who enjoyed her first book, A Tide That Sings, and to those introduced to the community through her latest volume, Island Song.
