The Miracle
Thousands of desperate people are drawn to Lourdes and its renowned grotto when the Vatican announces that the Virgin Mary will perform another miracle cure there. Their lives are at stake... but will a miracle really occur?

Irving Wallace, the author of The Word, The Man, and The Prize, focuses on an eclectic group of pilgrims at the site of the Virgin Mary's legendary appearance. Among them are Ken Clayton, a young American who gives up medicine in the hope of a spiritual cure; his fiancée Amanda, a psychologist; a powerful Russian official who must keep his dangerous visit a secret; Hurtado, a Basque terrorist for whom the grotto symbolizes repression; Liz Finch, a cynical journalist; Kleinberg, a Jewish doctor; Edith Moore, an English woman thrust into the limelight due to her recovery; and Giselle, whose ambition is not to reach Lourdes but to escape it.

This is a novel of mystery, faith, blackmail, love, and violence, encapsulating the fascinating story of Bernadette, the young French peasant girl who first saw Mary at the grotto in 1858. The subject is thought-provoking, and the climax is surprising.
