- Synopsis
- A doctor's daughter in Belgium joins a convent in the late 1920s. This story follows her spiritual journey as well as her decade in the Belgian Congo, then back to Europe for the start of WW2. Germans occupy Belgium and Sister Luke is further tormented by spiritual doubts. This book is beautifully written and became a classic. It was made into a movie with Audrey Hepburn. There is a lot of vocabulary in Latin, Flemish, French, and some Kiswhahili. It is a deeply rewarding experience to read this book, regardless of one's spiritual or religious grounding.
