How many people found out about this book because of that historical scene from the L Word?

Finally found a copy at the academic library this summer and ended up skimming it. Very interesting, though not having much familiarity with Catholicism or nuns made it more alien than I would have expected. Some of the most striking parts to me were reminiscences about everyday life in a convent. And... now I begin to understand that stereotype about ex-Catholics and BDSM, wow.

wonderful book! I love books about women's identity in a world where they are forced to conform to a certain mold.

An anthology of lesbian nuns talking about their life in the convent, their coming out, and their struggles to continue a spiritual life outside of the convent. I really like nun stories in general, but I think this was one of the best. There are a lot of very different stories here. People who go through similar experiences don't all come out of them with the same thoughts and feelings. Highly recommended for people interested in the quest for spirituality.
