I first read this book in the early 70s and liked it so much. I have reread it several times and the story retains its fascinating look at convent life. It follows the life of successful London business woman Philippa Talbot when she joins a cloistered Benedictine community. As she tries to fit in the life, she is sometimes drawn into using her old skills in the business world to help the convent.
