Where the Stones Sing (2012)
“There were days after the service when Brother Albert would ask one or other of the children to help him in his works of charity around the city, tending the sick and the poor. The canons of the cathedral, unlike many monks, had the right to leave the monastery, and many of them, like Albert, felt it their duty to help where they could. Other monks, such as the ones at Thomas Court and St John the Baptist to the west of the city, brought those who were ill into their monasteries and looked afte...r them there, but the canons of Christ Church went out into the homes of Dublin, bringing food and medicines and warm clothes. Kai did not mind going out with Brother Albert. He was always so cheerful, even when he had to face the most desperate cases. But even he grew worried as the number of illnesses in the city grew greater and began to show some disturbing symptoms.
Kai also really enjoyed visiting Dame Maria, who asked her to help with gathering the autumn apples and pears, and promised to bring her nutting through the hazel bushes along the Liffey when the time came.MoreLess
