«Les senyoretes de Lourdes» is the novel by Pep Coll, published by Proa in hardcover (320 pages, in Catalan).
Bernadette Soubirous, an asthmatic teenager, claimed in 1858 to have seen a lady dressed in white in a cave at Lourdes. The neighbors attributed it to a fairy, a spirit or a demon; she called the apparition «Allò». The work reconstructs the origins of the Catholic sanctuary and the drama of a girl who could not hide from the crowds.
Novel winner of the Premi Sant Jordi 2007, published in the A TOT VENT-TELA collection (number 481).
Aimed at readers of literary fiction and those seeking a novelized reconstruction of the episode of the apparitions at Lourdes.
