This book was disappointing enough that I've just had to stop reading it. Bummer.

I love the idea of this book, and her descriptions are vivid, but I didn't feel the chapters were as coherent as I would have liked. She interspersed the stories of the saints with descriptions of the tourists & pilgrims who came to see them, yet the various threads of the narrative weren't quite woven together into a full tapestry. It felt more like she was hanging threads of various colors side by side and expecting the reader to pick them up and weave them together, but without the guidance of the artist's hand, the resulting picture was always just a bit blurry.
