Publishers Description: The conversion was Nicks idea.. Nick- so persuasive, ever the optimist, still boyishly handsome. Always on a quest to design the perfect environment, convinced it could heal a wounded soul.. The conversion was Nicks idea, but its Zoe whos here now, in a valley of old coalmines and new vineyards, working out how to live in a deconsecrated church.. What to do with all that vertical space, those oppressive stained-glass windows Can a church become a home or, even with all its vestiges removed, will it remain forever what it was intended to be. For Zoe, alone and troubled by a ghost from the recent past, the little church seems empty of the possibilities Nick enthused about. She is stuck in purgatory-until a determined young teacher pushes her way into Zoes life, convinced of her own peculiar mission for the building.. Melanie has something of Nicks unquenchable zeal about her. And its clear to Zoe that she wont take no for an answer.. The Conversion is a startling novel about the homes we live in- how we shape them, and how they shape us. Like Amanda Lohreys bestselling The Labyrinth, it is distinguished by its deep intelligence, eye for human drama and effortless readability.
