Description
Summary:On a terribly rainy day, tied to a tree by her playful yet torturous brother, she is snatched from the earthly world; at around eighteen, she is chosen to become Gods platonic partner. In "Inferno," the heroine is sadistically attached to matters of the flesh as she tries to adapt to God's environment; in "Purgatory," she and God visit the real world; and "Paradiso" features their return to heaven. Among the most frequent topics of their disagreement is the role of literature and its relation to the human condition.
