And Then They Were Nuns by Susan J. Leonardi

girljames's review against another edition

5.0

The extraordinary thing about this book is how much the form reflects the content. It is not a book dominated by a single character, but by a community of characters. Their struggles are slow, reflective ones, sometimes against the landscape. The story meanders over half a century. It is a beautiful, feminist imagining of what the spiritual life could be like if it were run by a community of women who truly value and respect each other, and not a single, male authority figure.

This book would have been better had it not jumped around so much. Each chapter was good, but they just didn't connect with each other that way I think the author intended them to.
