I've owned this book for ages, and finally got around reading it – I have a tendency to read English paperbacks when I'm traveling abroad, and very rarely otherwise; this book accompanied me to Amsterdam.

It's all about Isis, a Scottish teenager, who is a member of a weird religious cult. Not just a member, though – Isis is actually their Elect of God. She is tasked with a duty to journey to London to find an apostate cousin and to bring her back to the faith.

It's not an easy task, and while working at it, she ends up disturbing several well-kept secrets within the cult and the family behind it.

It was quite funny, warm and entertaining. As expected, the novel pokes at religion, but does it in a fairly polite and considerate way.
