The announcement stuns people through-
out the world--especially six who believe
their own lives can be saved or changed by
the news. The word from the Vatican is
that the Virgin Mary is returning to
Lourdes this very year to perform another
miracle cure.
Thousands of people are drawn to the
grotto where the Virgin Mary first
appeared before the young peasant girl
Bernadette Soubirous in 1858. Many have
staked their very lives on The Reap-
pearance. But will the miracle in fact take
place?
So begins Irving Wallace s most inge-
nious and compelling work since The Word,
a sweeping novel about Lourdes and a mir-
acle that holds the world enthralled. Set
against the background of the most popu-
lar pilgrimage site in the world--and the
often mysterious and surprising story of
St. Bernadette herself--The Miracle has
everything we ve come to expect of Irving
Wallace at his best: rich, authentic detail;
intricate, fast-paced plotting; suspense;
and vividly realized characters.
Wallace takes us to the extraordinary
mix of true faith and commercial exploita-
tion that is Lourdes today, from the cura-
. tive baths to the shoddy tourist traps to
, the desperately hopeful pilgrims, waiting
for a sign.
