Flannery O’Connorová bola výnimočná americká autorka, známa svojim jedinečným pohľadom na život na juhu USA a hlboko zakoreneným katolíckym presvedčením. Jej diela sa vyznačujú ostrým humorom, znepokojivými obrazmi a skúmaním tém milosti a vykúpenia v prostredí plnom násilia a bizarnosti. O’Connorová majstrovsky zobrazovala postavy, ktoré sa potýkajú s vierou, hriechom a Božou prítomnosťou, často v nečakaných a dramatických okamihoch. Jej písanie dodnes fascinuje čitateľov svojou intenzitou a nekompromisnou úprimnosťou.

Ale Tarwater má svojský rozum, iné plány... Alebo nie? Alebo predsa len áno?
