Horridas nostrae mentis purga tenebras.
(Cleanse the horrible darkness of our minds.)
--The Aurora Consurgens, an alchemical treatise attributed to Thomas Aquinas
Commune of Women is a novel about six women, trapped together in a small room, who must use their slender resources to survive and prevail by sharing everything: their hope and fear; their food; and their life stories, which grow deeper, darker and more intimate as the days pass.
