«Les Senyoretes de Lourdes» is the novel by Pep Coll, published by Proa in hardcover (320 pages, in Catalan).
A novel about the apparitions of Lourdes: in 1858, Bernadette Soubirous claimed to see a lady in white in a cave, whom she called «Allò». The locals interpreted her as a fairy, ghost or gossip, until a priest suggested she might be the Virgin. Pep Coll recreates the interests, jealousies and ambitions that surrounded the origin of the sanctuary.
The book, published in 2008, belongs to the A tot vent collection and was awarded the Premi Sant Jordi 2007.
