Summary:
"Just as Jane Christmas decides to enter a convent in mid-life to find out whether she is "nun material," her long-term partner Colin suddenly springs a marriage proposal on her. Determined not to let her monastic dreams be sidelined, Christmas puts her engagement on hold and embarks on an extraordinary year long adventure to four convents--one in Canada and three in the UK. In these communities of
cloistered
nuns
and monks, she shares--and at times chafes and rails against--the silent, simple existence she has sought all of her
life
. Christmas takes this spiritual quest seriously, but her story is full of the candid insights, humorous social faux pas, profane outbursts, and epiphanies that make her books so relatable and popular. "And
Then
There
Were
Nuns
" offers a seldom seen look inside modern
cloistered
life
, and it is sure to ruffle more than a few starched collars among the ecclesiastical set. Jane Christmas is the author of What the Psychic Told the Pilgrim. She lives in England"--Provided by publisher.
