Marie’s Thoughts

I enjoyed this book. It was fast paced, entertaining, and added an element of humor throughout the pages. The nuns of Gwenaffay were all interesting and complex characters with lots of room to grow in future installments. I’m looking forward to seeing where Jane Willan takes this series in future books!
