From inside her cell in the wall of the Cemetery of the Holy Innocents, Alix, a young Parisian recluse, observes a tumultuous world of thieves and scoundrels, rebels, heretics, and pilgrims.

""Toni Maraini's Sealed in Stone, an allegorical novel set in the heart of medieval Paris, radiantly portrays the triumph of the soul over the darkness of existence. An extraordinary achievement."" --Lucia A. Blackstone ""...a strange and necessary novel."" --Alberto Moravia Toni Maraini is an Italian poet, novelist, and art critic.
