Synopsis
Excerpt from Imprisoned in a Spanish Convent: An English Girl's Experiences; With Other Narratives and Tales
I cannot marry without your consent, I faltered, trembling at the fury with which he glared at me. My father was a tall, stout man, with dark eyes; and I almost thought he was going to strike me.

Imprisoned in a Spanish Convent: An English Girl's Experiences
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the extraordinary five-year ordeal of a young English woman, Ada, who in 1867 is tricked into entering a Spanish convent and imprisoned there as a result of her father's machinations. Initially horrified, Ada gradually adapts to her strange surroundings and the rigid rules of the Carmelite order, all the while resisting pressure to convert to Catholicism. The author provides a riveting account of convent life, the superstitions, piety, and insanity that Ada witnesses. As the nuns grow increasingly desperate to 'save' her, their self-inflicted punishments become more extreme, leading Ada to fear for both her physical and mental well-being. As the book progresses, Ada's own resourcefulness and strength of character shine through, offering a powerful meditation on religious faith, resilience, and the role of women in a patriarchal society.
