Divine

From back cover: Québec City, 1905. Two priests-in-training are ordered to deliver a letter to a controversial visitor to their city: legendary French actress Sarah Bernhardt. ... The two are charged with telling the "Divine Sarah" that she is not welcome by the Catholic Church, on the grounds that she has decided to perform Adrienne Lecouvreur -- a play that "sings the praises of adulterous love" and "ridicules a man of the cloth protrayed as a plotting habitué of Parisian salons." And so the stage is set for a battle for the hearts and minds of Quebeckers through these two seminarians: the powerful Catholic Church on one side, and the power of the divine Sarah Bernhardt -- and the world of theatre -- on the other. As the young men become involved in her world, their lives are forever changed.
