Danielle- How fun! Which of Colette’s novels was it that you read? The Pure and the Impure is still my favorite, but I love all of the Claudine books, as well.

I love that sort of bookstore! I have a great used bookstore fairly close to where I live. I don’t know if I would find Dan Brown there, but I bet I could easily find some of the books you listed! It’s a great place to browse. I’ve only read one Colette novel, but it was enough to know I want to read more! I’ve not even heard of some of those titles.

Ann- I know, right? But I think it’s largely literary. Certainly they can’t talk about literary nuns run amok without addressing the real ones, but I don’t think that’s the focus. I’m still looking forward to it, though!

OK!!!!! ‘Wayward Nuns in Medieval Literature’. On the basis that they were presumably modelled on real life examples, that is a work I’d definitely want to read.
