Just before Lent Eleanor Foster, a retired music teacher, moves into St Anselm’s, a medieval alms-house in the cathedral city of Wiltonbury. The move is forced on her when the end of her part-time job coincides with a huge rise in the rent on her Soho flat, but she enjoys getting to know her new city. The Warden asks her to form a choir to sing in the hospital’s chapel, and she soon makes friends who share her interest in food and music. But not everyone is welcoming. Follow Eleanor and get to know her friends as they go through the challenges and trials of Lent to the joy of Easter morning.

A full review of this book will appear in Transforming Ministry Magazine later this year.

Lent at St Anselm’s is published as an e-book and as a paperback. To obtain a copy, people can donate via my Justgiving page; .justgiving.com/page/peter-toon-lentatstanselms, send me a cheque or give me cash.   I have suggested a minimum donation of £5 for the e-book and £10 for the paperback, but donors are free to give whatever they can. I can deliver e-books anywhere, but will have to ask £2.50 postage and packing for those who want a paperback. You will be supporting The Friends of Canterbury Cathedral by buying a copy of this book.
