Riassunto

(This book surprised me and delighted me. I came to it expecting difficulty and boredom as it was a novel to be read for an english literature degree. I could not have been more pleased. Everything about it suggested that it would be dry, stiff and dull. On the contrary, it was beautifully observed, and genuinely interesting. It delved inside the private lives of a high ranking nun and her young charge in surprising sympathetic manner. The novel particularly interested me as I am a past pupil of the school in which the novel is based. It's amazing how the novel communicates the teaching of the school, even today. But this does not colour my opinion of its merit. Those who are completely independent of County Limerick enjoy its insights into the machinations of an Irish convent and its foreign leader.)
