Details

Forced into a life of religious servitude by stern parents and an unforgiving Catholic Church, Sister Suzanne battles to retain her freedom while subjected to duplicity, abuse and seduction. She encounters cruel or lascivious Mother Superiors and corrupt or ineffectual authority figures on her journey to an uncertain future. What began as a practical joke resulted in a scathing attack on conventional religion and a remarkable novel by one of the major figures of The Enlightenment.
