A turbulent affair plays out in the pilgrim city of Lourdes
'Carries you through with humour, warmth and, above all, the urgency of a great romance' Guardian
'Closing this novel after reading the last page, one briefly believes in miracles, at least of the human redemptive kind' Independent on Sunday
'Jubilate is something to celebrate indeed' Independent
A woman wakes in a Lourdes hotel room beside her lover of just two days. She has brought her brain-damaged husband on a pilgrimage to seek a miracle cure; her lover is making a TV documentary to mark the shrine's 150th anniversary year. Setting aside personal doubts, family ties and spiritual differences, they embark on a turbulent affair from which neither they nor those around them will emerge unchanged.
