San Salvador

"San Salvador" by Mary Agnes Tincker is a richly atmospheric novel set primarily in Italy, weaving together themes of faith, identity, and social justice. The story follows an American woman, Miss Lothrop, who becomes entwined in the political and religious complexities of Italian society during the 19th century.
As the narrative unfolds, characters confront issues of loyalty, religious devotion, class conflict, and personal transformation. The novel explores Catholicism with deep insight, drawing on Tincker’s own religious background and experiences as an American expatriate. It combines a keen sense of place with introspective character development, presenting Italy not just as a setting but as a vital element of the story’s moral and spiritual fabric.
With its blend of romance, philosophical reflection, and social critique, "San Salvador" reflects Tincker’s literary commitment to merging spirituality with narrative depth.
"San Salvador" is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1892.
