Catalina

CATALINA by W. Somerset Maugham, First Edition BOOK CLUB Edition, With Somerset Maugham’s picture on the rear cover of the dust jacket in black and white. Set in Spain during the Inquisition, it told of a crippled girl to whom the Blessed Virgin appears in a vision. She will be healed by one of three brothers, the one who has best served God. One brother is a bishop, another is a soldier, and the third is a baker. It comes as no surprise that the humble panadero succeeds in healing the girl.
