Face à un banquier vorace en quête de terrains pour immobiliers, un curé espagnol, menacé d'être extradé de son église du 17e siècle, est "miraculeusement" aidé par les services secrets du Vatican (avec un James Bond jésuite) grâce à un jeune pirate informaticien qui a alerté le pape. Du picaresque contemporain! [SDM]

"Prudencia Prim is a young woman of intelligence and achievement, with a deep knowledge of literature and several letters after her name. But when she accepts the post of private librarian in the village of San Ireneo de Arnois, she is unprepared for what she encounters there. Her employer, a book-loving intellectual, is dashing yet contrarian, always ready with a critique of her cherished Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott. The neighbors, too, are capable of charm and eccentricity in equal measure, determined as they are to preserve their singular little community from the modern world outside."--
