The Pride of the School, and Other Tales of Convent Life

Nicola Thorne

4.9/5 (13593 ratings)

Description:An early work of Nicola Thorne never published before. She is primarily known as a novelist and these eight tales, set in a convent school in the north of England shortly after the Second World War, are the only short stories she has ever written. They were eventually followed by a full length novel The Little Flowers with the same setting. The rarified atmosphere of the convent, with its social divisions among pupils and nuns, is very different from conditions and attitudes that would be acceptable today. Although the stories are self-contined there is a continuity in that all the nuns remain the same and the complex, authoritarian but somehow endearing character of Reverend Mother is a central figure binding everything together.These stories are part of history, of a religious and educational society and a way of life that no longer exists. It was indeed an age of innocence.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
