Synopsis
This revelatory novel by a cloistered monk traces a young man's search for wisdom among the inhabitants of a Cistercian monastery of strict observance. In simple prose full of striking imagery, "All We Know of Heaven" brilliantly brings to life a rarefied realm where human folly nestles cheek by jowl with the divine.

Reviews
To the eternal dismay of his mother, Paul Seneschal, a mild nineteen-year-old French Canadian, presents himself as a postulant at St. Norbert Abbey, an order near his home, in rural Manitoba. Rougeau himself is a cloistered monk, and this droll, almost Barbara Pymish début novel about monastery life—rife with petty jealousies, dawn chores, and repressed lust—is often lovely. But the tone is oddly aloof, as if Rougeau, concerned that we might confuse him with his simple hero, begrudged him insight, and settled for a less illuminating book.
