To review this book, please
Convent life – not for me, but did I have a choice?
This book is set in Ferrara in the 16C but could be in any Italian City I would think. It recounts how a sixteen year old is forced into a convent by her family to end a love affair...
I am glad I wasn’t a nun in Renaissance Italy!!
The book isn’t necessarily evocative of Ferrara, I am sure it must have reflected just about anywhere in Italy at that time!!Thus I would recommend it wherever you go, if you like a bit of background on convent life....
