It is a study of the unique culture of worship practiced by seventeenth-century lay, rigorist women, usually known as the 'Belles Amies de Port Royal.' The book argues that their devotional culture was characterised by intimate spiritual friendships, an aversion towards the licentious culture of an increasingly libertine royal court and distinctive, anti-Baroque devotional practices.
