White Sister

White Sister

by Francis Marion Crawford

Set in late 19th-century Italy, "White Sister" tells the story of Angela Chiaromonte, a young woman from a wealthy family who finds herself facing a life of immense change and hardship. After the unexpected deaths of her father and brother, she becomes an orphan with little support. Feeling lost and disillusioned, Angela turns to the Catholic faith for solace, ultimately choosing a life of service as a nun. The novel explores themes of loss, faith, and the challenging choices individuals must make when faced with immense personal upheaval. It delves into the world of Italian convents and the internal struggles of a young woman grappling with both religious devotion and a lingering romantic attraction.
