Overview

Set in a convent hospital when floods isolate the building and its inhabitants taking refuge with her warders is a girl condemned to death for murder.

The author keeps inviolate the serene atmosphere of the convent, thus providing a wonderful contrast for the tormented soul of the girl who believes it is only a matter of hours before she will die.
