New York: The Literary Guild of America. Very Good+ in Very Good- dust jacket. 1931. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. A Very Good+ first Edition/First Printing that has bumped corners and sunning to the trim in a Very Good- dust-jacket that has scuffing and soiling to the surfaces, general edgewear and a few chips the largest of which is on the upper rear edge; Agnes Repplier's memoir of her years as a novice nun at the Ursuline convent in Montreal is at once humorous and poignant. Marie, the narrator, is a bright and rebellious teenager when she enters the convent in 1936; by the time she leaves in 1953, she has become a pious and devout nun. Repplier captures Marie's joys and disappointments as she undergoes the demanding process of becoming a nun, and her account is a unique and riveting exploration of convent life in the early 20th century.; 8vo; 314 pages .
