N2  - Nanda Gray, the daughter of a Catholic convert, is nine when she is sent to the Convent of Five Wounds. Quick-witted, resilient, and eager to please, she adapts to this cloistered world, learning rigid conformity and subjection to authority. Passionate friendships are the only deviation from her total obedience. Convent life-the smell of beeswax and incense, the petty cruelty of the nuns, the glamour and eccentricity of Nanda's friends-is perfectly captured by Antonia White
