I found Yallop's style to be flowing and her tone sensitive and in keeping with the whole convent/nun/religion slant. She has a nice line in storytelling so that even when the most shocking facts are revealed to the reader, it's all the more shocking wrapped up in everyday prose. This is a book which concentrates on human emotions and human weaknesses. It's also a moving portrait of a nun's life throughout the decades. Recommended.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag. We also have a review of [[Kissing Alice by Jacqueline Yallop]].
If this book appeals then you might like to try [[The Wrong Blood by Manuel de Lope and John Cullen (Translator)|The Wrong Blood by Manuel de Lope]].
