Camillus Metcalfe
The author of this book, Camillus Metcalfe, was a nun herself for four decades. But even as an 'insider' she found it difficult to find 10 willing subjects. She held three lengthy interviews with each of the 10 nuns whose stories make up the book and who are from different convents and congregations. She writes that during these interviews, or as a result of them, the sisters involved found themselves reflecting on their lives for "perhaps the first time". Source: Commons
