The lone child of a failing aristocratic family in an eighteenth-century South American seaport, Sierva Maria, gets bitten by a rabid dog on her twelfth birthday. She is sent to a convent for observation since it is thought that she is possessed. Father Cayetano Delaura, who has previously dreamt of a girl whose hair trails after her like a wedding train, stumbles into her cell. While he massages her with sacred oils and holy water, Delaura senses something startling happening. He has fallen in love, and Sierva Maria soon follows him into his frenzied suffering.
Of Love and Other Demons is a haunting and unforgettable story about a universal experience shared by both men and women. It is a beautiful and captivating narrative.
