Summary, Etc. In 1552 Paris, a former nun brings a dangerous manuscript to a pioneering woman printer just as authorities crack down on heresy and book burning. Four hundred years later, in 1950s New York, a lonely housewife is asked to decipher that same mysterious text, pulling her into unexpected danger during the paranoia of McCarthy-era America. Connected across centuries by a forbidden book, both women must decide how much they are willing to risk to protect the power of ideas.
