Susan Pickford

This was an easy read, albeit abit slow at times. I felt the author wrote from a place of honesty and not like someone with a score to settle. This is not an expose' of convent life but rather one woman making sense of her life and the roll the convent played in it. Written with a clear understanding of choices she made, the author takes ownership of her life. I found the education she received of particular interest. So not an exciting read but the book doesn' t drag on longer then needed. In fact it ended so abruptly I was ticked off I had read it at all, but then past the acknowledgements at very end of book there is an About the author which somewhat satisfied me for an epilogue. Kindle edition contains many photographs which helped me get a feel for time period. Fans of Karen Armstrong will enjoy this although if comparing the two "Through the Narrow Gate" is by far the better.… (altro)
