From Library Journal
On Christmas Eve, Sister Mary Hilary flees her convent after 20 years in a contemplative order. Hilary's experiences in London as she struggles to find herself, having lost her faith, form the basis for this wry, perceptive look at a woman's discovery of self. Whether she is fending off a lecherous priest at a charismatic conference or standing up to the drunken father of a troubled small boy, Hi lary's courage in facing the unknown will evoke the reader's sympathy. In Perriam's skilled hands, the story of one nun's entry into the secular world becomes the metaphor for women everywhere discovering who they are. Highly recommended for public library fiction collections.

Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Cover: Kevin Hauff (illustrator). First Paperback Edition. Some minor edgeweae, otherwise a clean, tight copy. After twenty cloistered years in a Norfolk convent, Sister Mary Hilary casts off the spiritual strait-jacket of her medieval robes and returns to a world she can hardly recognize - one which is permissive, greedy, and amoral. Used to a life spent contemplating the mysteries of Christ - where "self" is the enemy - she comes naked into the modern world, groping her way towards the as yet untasted pleasures of friendship, sensuality and love. But is Hilary ready for life outside the womb of the Mother Church - and can she ever be free from her burden of guilt and fear? Devils, for a Change, in which the modern world is seen through the eyes of an innocent outsider, is at once profoundly revealing of human weakness and unabashedly life-affirming. Book.
