Description

A young Englishman visiting Cornwall finds himself delving into the legend of a Belgian nun who is living as a refugee in the village. Possessed of supernatural powers, she is said to have caused her entire convent to explode when it was occupied by invading German soldiers during World War. Sister Angelique had been the only survivor. Could such a tall story possibly be true?

This story could almost be classified as science-fiction although it was regarded more as a tale of the occult. In an interview with Nigel Dennis in 1956 Christie professed a keen interest in science-fiction.
