«Las señoritas de Lourdes» is the historical novel by Pep Coll, published by Ediciones Ámbar in paperback (384 pages, in Spanish).
In 1858, Bernadette Soubirous, a twelve-year-old girl, claims to have seen a young lady dressed in white in a cave. The apparition triggers very different interpretations among the neighbours and mobilises the authorities, while the seer only wishes to rest. The work blends fictionalised narrative and chronicle about a religious phenomenon of worldwide reach.
The novel, published in 2008, won the 2007 Sant Jordi Prize and belongs to the Histórica collection of Ediciones Ámbar; the cover subtitle is «La verdadera historia de Bernadette».
A work aimed at readers of historical fiction interested in the social and religious impact of the apparitions of Lourdes.
