Book Description Paperback. Condition: New. First Thus. New York, NY, Dial Press, 1980. First thus. 8vo. Paperback with pictorial cover, 211 pp. The Convent of the Five Wounds, where Nanda Grey is sent when she is nine, is on the edge of London; but in 1908 it is a world unto itself. For the young girls receiving a Catholic education behind its walls, religion is a nationality, conformity, an entire way of life. In this intense, troubled atmosphere, passionate friendships are the only deviation. Nanda is thirteen, a normal, quick-witted, spirited girl, when, catastrophically, she breaks the rules and pays too large a price for her transgression. Vivid and gripping! Cover has very slight shelf wear. New, unread condition. Seller Inventory # 020210
