Welcome to Litsy!

An epistolary novel, concerning the Sisters of St.Winifreda and their struggles with a crumbling bell tower, a rat infestation, and a leaking roof with no money to pay for repairs. Through kindness, prayer, ingenuity, good neighbors and some luck, the Sisters build a community while rebuilding their convent. A cheering and uplifting tale.

Just the sort of sweet, feel good and lightweight novel that I needed, after a rather long week. I very much enjoyed Sister B and her community (big C and little c). The ending felt a wee abrupt, but it just guaranteed that I'd immediately download the sequel, so I guess well-played Fran Smith?

This was an enjoyable lightweight read. I liked getting to know the village and nuns as they worked together to improve their lot all told through letters.

First cup of the day. A thread of joy & irreverence runs through this epistolary novel. #nunlit

While I‘m glad I read this for #nunlit, I didn‘t like it as much as I wanted to. Love the LGBTQ+ representation, but didn‘t like Sister Holiday that much, although I could get used to her. She makes many seriously dumb decisions. There are a couple of scenes with a character, Nina, that I didn‘t see the point of. Many of the secondary characters aren‘t that well-drawn. Mara Wilson, however, did a great job narrating. #audiowalk

It was so much cooler today (89° F) with a bit of a breeze, so I actually walked around 2:00 instead of 7:00pm. We‘re getting a lot of backstory here as opposed to mystery solving. That‘s probably because it‘s the first of the series. Sister Holiday has some anger issues she needs to handle. #audiowalk #nunlit

I wasn‘t feeling fantasy today, so I started Scorched Grace for #nunlit. So far, I‘m liking it and especially like our main character, Sister Holiday. I‘m starting to have to walk in the evening because it‘s just too hot during the day to walk outside, which I prefer to walking at the rec center. #audiowalk
