New History Of Contemplative Nuns Today

[Nunsuch]

There is a new book of oral histories of contemplative nuns--my copy (pre-ordered) is on its way.  Others may also find it of interest:

"Dedicated to God: An Oral History of Contemplative Nuns" (Oxford University Press, 2013).

I can't wait to read it!

Just read a long excerpt, seems wonderful, have ordered it. Thanks for the recommendation.

Does sound interesting... a faul commentary on various aspects of why one goes in, why one stays in... and good quotes... kind of a 2013 version of 'Contemplative Nuns Speak' from the 1950's or 1960's....
