Geraldine: A Tale Of Conscience by Emily C. Agnew. Geraldine is a noble Englishwoman whose life voyage moves from Protestant England to Catholic Rome, where her devotion deepens amid the disturbances of travel, family duty, and high society. The novel traces her inner journey—from a brilliant, beloved daughter to a devout Catholic convert, through marriage and the trials of public and private life, to a penitent’s embrace of a religious vocation. After long conflicts with worldly expectations, Geraldine becomes a postulant and ultimately a vowed nun in the Order of Our Lady of Mercy, while her narrative is interwoven with the trials and triumphs of other women—Mary Gabrielle, Ignatia, Gabrielle, and Katherine Graham—whose spiritual struggles illuminate themes of humility, obedience, charity, and mortification. The book examines conscience, religious authority, and the tension between contemplation and active mercy as Geraldine learns to live a hidden life in God, even as she confronts loss, temptation, and the call to serve the sick and poor. A pious, historical-moral romance, it offers a devout meditation on virtue, faith, and sanctity through a long arc of personal transformation.
