If you ever needed evidence that the ancient supersitions we call religion can really screw up peoples' lives, then look no further than this book. Marion Dante's only 'sin' is that she had the bad luck to be concieved out of wedlock in 1940s Ireland. As a result she became inveigled in the Catholic Church, leading a life as a Salesian Nun. This is a refreshing antidote to the usual 'all nuns/priests are evil' misery memoirs out there. The author doesn't want your pity, she tells her story in a simple and straightforward fashion with gentle humour.
