Title: Well done autobiography
Review: I enjoy Armstrong's books generally, and I thought this one would be interesting, since I entered a convent during the same period. But our experiences were entirely different. I hope no one thinks all orders were like hers! I guess I must have been in a house entirely populated by nuns like Armstrong's saintly and brilliant Mother Bianca! I did not stay either, but am honest enough with myself to see that 1) I hadn't a vocation, and 2) everything I did was my own choice. Why would anyone stay in a place with a Mother Walter? And why would her order put someone like that in charge? I would be interested in hearing that nun's rebuttal. Having said all that, I did enjoy the book. Armstrong is simply one of the best writers on religious subjects. I am sorry she has no faith herself any longer.
Is the review positive or negative?
