One of the most highly acclaimed and best-selling novels of 1991, Mariette in Ecstasy inspires even the most discriminating listener to some degree of reverence. This captivating story of faith and divine madness may move you to examine your own belief system. Since the tender age of four, Mariette Baptiste has had visions of her Savior. Now, at 17, she is entering the convent to dedicate her life to Him. At first, she is welcomed and admired. Then she begins to bleed from stigmata, and the villagers regard her as a saint.

If you could sum up Mariette in Ecstasy in three words, what would they be?
Riveting, Mysterious and well done.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Mariette. She was a simple young girl who had mysterious experiences and it was difficult to really determine if it was psychological phenomena or true devotional experiences.
What does Barbara Caruso bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She had a very distinct way of talking and she could distinguish the characters by the different tones of speaking.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No extreme reaction to the book but I found it fascinating because of the nature of the topic which is faith and how it gets expressed. Also how some faith experiences are manifested and what the differences are between stigmata and somatic conditions.
Any additional comments?
The book was very interesting and the ending a bit surprising but good.
