Nun (9781609459109) (2012)
“Agata discovers that her mother wants to marry her off to another man and decides to go back to the convent Agata had assumed that when she went back to Aunt Orsola’s house, where she lived in the same room and had the same maid, she would resume the same life she’d been living, but it was not to be. The hairdresser, after grooming her aunt’s hair, no longer came by to comb and tease her ringlets. Her aunt no longer invited Agata to come with her to the singing masses and to Vespers in the ora...tories, which she loved so much. Now Agata had to listen to Mass in the palazzo’s chapel, sitting with the help and with the young daughters of her cousin the prince. She sat at her aunt’s table when there were just the two of them or when there were elderly guests. Otherwise she ate by herself in the small dining room. She wasn’t allowed to enter the drawing room when her aunt was playing cards. Relatives and female cousins no longer wrote or came to see her; in other words, Agata was as isolated from the rest of the world as if she were already a nun.MoreLess
