When famous Hollywood producer Megan Hanlon returns to her native Western Australia to visit her family, old friendships formed in her convent school days reappear. Her favourite teacher, Sister Mary Magdalene, who was a very young nun in those days, is still there although champing at the bit in her yearning for intellectual freedom. Megan meets an old school friend, Greta, daughter of Greek immigrants, at a party, and reluctantly agrees to accompany her to the convent for a visit, feeling acutely uncomfortable about the renewed friendship as she'd had a brief fling with Greta's husband without knowing that he was married.Sister Mary Magdalene, now simply known as Joan, is having second thoughts about remaining in the convent, especially now that she's formed a close friendship with one of the professors at the university she attends. I loved this book as I found it to be one of the more old fashioned kind of story with lots of detail.

Sorry to say i did not read this book. the other one I read dragged on and on so bad I did not waist my time
