Book Overview

""The Prophetess of the Land of No-Smoke"" is a novel written by Marie Manning. The story is set in the 19th century and follows the life of a young woman named Maud, who is born and raised in a small village in the Land of No-Smoke. Maud possesses a unique gift of prophecy, which she inherited from her mother, who was also a prophetess. As Maud grows older, she becomes increasingly aware of her gift and begins to use it to help the people of her village. She predicts the weather, foresees crop failures, and even predicts the birth of a child. Maud's predictions are always accurate, and the people of her village come to rely on her for guidance and advice. However, Maud's gift also attracts the attention of the local clergy, who view her as a threat to their authority. They accuse her of witchcraft and demand that she be punished. Maud is forced to flee her village and seek refuge in the nearby city. In the city, Maud meets a group of like-minded individuals who share her gift of prophecy. Together, they form a community and begin to use their powers to help those in need. However, their actions attract the attention of the authorities, who view them as a threat to the established order. ""The Prophetess of the Land of No-Smoke"" is a fascinating tale of a young woman's struggle to overcome prejudice and persecution in a world that fears and misunderstands her gift. It is a story of courage, resilience, and the power of prophecy to change lives.THIS 38 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Under the Sunset: Harper's Novelettes, by Marie Manning.
