From the war-torn skies over Britain during the 2nd World War, the story transports us to the blood drenched desert sands of Victorian England's campaign in the torrid Sudan and the monasteries of the Sketian desert, from which a military chaplain joins his brother in England, an academic who is struggling to preserve his marriage. The two dissimilar characters, whose paths have crossed again, envision a brighter future but they fail to see the spectre of the ghostly hand on the wall that conjures up the end of the world order as they know it.....

The institution of the lay brotherhood was not original to the Cistercians, but they developed it to its fullest extent. Although lay, the conversi were under the same vows as monks and represented a new form of religious life. While monks were bound to the recitation of the Divine Office, the lay brothers were dedicated to a life of toil and acted as the monks' auxiliaries. Their contribution to the spiritual and material life of the Cistercian Order was immense. By consideration of tales from the exemplum literature, evidence from general chapter statutes, and information on the architectural provisions made for the lay brothers in the abbey and on the outlying granges, this book puts flesh on the bare bones of a life directed by their own Usages. The book is richly illustrated with images from manuscripts, stained glass, and architectural sculpture.
