REVIEWS

Review by Brenda (posted on 28-Jul-2007)

Fantastic! Such insight into the lives of nuns and the politics that occur. I hope things have changed. Audrey Hepburn is incredible. Such a sacrifice these women make and so much is expected of them. Can't wait to read about what happened to the real subject of the book. It was a hard choice to leave the order, to quit being a nun. Hope I am as strong if ever faced with a similar choice.
