Eleanor Cripps's Newly Released "The Countess Choir Woman" Is a Captivating Historical Tale of a Wronged Woman Receiving a New Chance at Life

"The Countess Choir Woman" from Christian Faith Publishing author Eleanor Cripps is a fascinating novel that chronicles the life of a high-spirited young woman who makes her way through life in the Abbey of Goss in eighteenth-century Austria, eventually finding herself unjustly imprisoned for years until she is rescued by a turn of fate.

PR Newswire

MEADVILLE, Pa., May 20, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "The Countess Choir Woman": an intricate tale of a woman of integrity, is the creation of published author Eleanor Cripps, a Vienna-born American citizen who has worked a long and varied career in positions such as consultant, secretary, and official delegate. She now lives with her husband in Virginia.

Cripps writes, "This is the touching story of a vivacious, talented girl growing up in splendid freedom in Transylvania, then Hungary but now part of Rumania, until a tragic event transplants her and three older siblings to eighteenth century Vienna and the house of a cardinal, whose wards they have become. The four youngsters know they have no choice but to adjust to their drastically changed life and a demanding curriculum of studies.

"In time, all four teenagers are placed with religious orders and eventually take their vows. The youngest, Tessa, enters the abbey of Goss in Styria, a contemplative order of choir women from noble families, and she eventually becomes Choir woman Maria Columba. Her great talent and love of singing, especially the Gregorian chant, as well as an understanding abbess, help her adjust to the strict rules and grueling daily schedule.

"Over time, however, circumstances change and her always strong temper revolts against what she perceives as unjust and abhorred decisions by her superiors, causing her to be confined to a cell under prisonlike conditions.

"She is freed years later when Joseph II of Austria decrees the dissolution of contemplative abbeys, monasteries, and convents. Realizing that having been confined for so long was an injustice, the state grants her as the only member of the congregation the means to live out her life as a private woman."

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Eleanor Cripps's new book is a vivid, richly detailed, and deeply researched narrative that brings history to life.
