Book Club Kit, The Lady in Blue - Javier Sierra

The American Southwest owes much of the success of its Spanish exploration and mission work to a woman. That woman, in her entire life, never left Spain. At least, she never left it physically…

An intriguing blend of spellbinding action, modern metaphysics, and ancient religion and faith, THE LADY IN BLUE explores the trances and bilocation (the power of being in two places at once) of María Jesús de Ágreda, a seventeenth century nun from Spain, who was accused by the Inquisition of traveling a distance of 6,000 miles more than 500 times to the New Mexican territories to propagate the word of God—without ever leaving her monastery.
