This Is My Body

By: Elena Graf

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The new rector of St. Margaret’s by the Sea Episcopal Church has a secret. Lucille Bartlett was a rising star at the Metropolitan Opera, but she disappeared from the stage and no one knows why. Philosophy Professor Erika Bultmann is a confirmed agnostic, who doesn’t have much use for religion, but she is fascinated by Mother Lucy. When Erika returns to her summer cottage in Hobbs to finish her last book before she retires, Lucy is drawn to the enigmatic professor, but she wants much more than a casual affair. Erika has been in open relationships; Lucy wants a commitment. Lucy believes marriage is sacred; Erika thinks it’s a vestige of the patriarchy. When Lucy’s secret is revealed, she needs Erika’s support more than ever. Can they put their differences aside and find common ground?

Really enjoyed the story

The virtual voice is growing on me, though not my favorite. However, the author writes so well. She tells complex and interesting stories. Even with the occasional quirks with virtual voice, I can “see” the story unfold. I love the dynamic characters and would love to meet them in real life. Thank you for a most enjoyable book!
