Beschrijving
Hope Mirrlees's second novel centres around a Roman Catholic family - the Lanes - and in particular Teresa Lane's struggle to reconcile faith and love. Teresa writes a play - The Key, set in a nunnery in Seville during the reign of Pedro the Cruel - to illuminate the clash of Life and religion ("Life, noisy, tangible, resilient, supple, cunning Life,...laughing...at the makers of myths..."), and the play forms part of the novel.
