Sacred Hearts

I've read a few nonfiction books about nuns lately, and it looks like it's time to make the foray into fiction!

Having made the foray into fiction, I'd be curious for some nonfiction on nuns. Would you recommend any of the books you read?

For starters, here's a list of blogs-by-nuns (not a book, I know, but definitely awesome for nonfiction!).

Most recently I read The Scent of God, a memoir by Beryl Bissell. It's a weird take on nuns because she actually left the order to marry a priest, but still a pretty interesting view on the effect convent life can have on the young psyche.

I've read most of her other books and found them rather hit or miss on how much I enjoyed them. This one looks like it's worth checking out, though. I don't think I've ever read fiction about nuns, so that will be interesting.

I'm glad you enjoyed this one, as I just started it! Nice review!
