Book by Loudon, Mary

About this title

From Library Journal:

What do we make of those who commit their whole existence to serving a higher purpose, intentionally living apart from us, worshiping something other than mammon and success? We are invited by Loudon, a writer for Britain's Independent , to a cozy conversation with ten intelligent, dedicated Catholic and Anglican British women living lives distinctly different from our own. Yet, for all that difference, we feel confided in, as if we're sharing with a friend. We follow the narrations intensely, glad for the author's distance, both awed and challenged by the breadth and depth of the fervor. We are pleased that the nuns are not stereotypes. They are, remarks one, facing "the problems and challenges... common to us all... finding purpose in life that leads inevitably to death, and meaning in death itself." Highly recommended.
