A collection of Norah`s four novels: The story of Jassy, a small ugly girl who has a disturbing influence on all the people around her as she grows up. `Bless this House` tells the story of a house built with such skill and dedication that its spirit grips and enthralls generation after generation. `Scent of Cloves` tells the story of Julia, a grown-up orphan who is chosen to be a proxy bride for an unknown husband and finds herself trapped in a `marriage` so strange and dangerous that the family will do anything to maintain its guilty secret. In `How Far to Bethlehem, Norah vividly recreates the story of everyday lives of a strange variety of people living in the year of Nativity, and how those lives were changed and directed towards the birth of a baby in Bethlehem.
