Nun of This and Nun of That: Making Vows (Book Two)

Summary: She's been there and done that
Review: This first of two books by Dr. Hilaire Tavenner is a very REALISTIC story about convent life in the sixties. I did not belong to Tavenner's religious community, but I belonged for 20 years to one that is uncannily similar. From the specific ways that we young women were taught to eat fruit, to the way that sisters mysteriously "disappeared" from the community without explanation, to the interactions (or lack thereof) between individual sisters, to the idealism at initial entrance into the community -- it's all so real that I felt that I was back there again. I also recommend the sequel, Book 2.
