This is the story of several women's lives shaped by their faith and its conventions. There is a mother who disregards the warnings of her priest and pays the consequence in her marriage. Her daughter lives in the shadow of her disappointment and her granddaughter takes their resignation with their circumstances as a calling to be a nun. I found the characters difficult to follow and their limited choices within their Catholic faith frightening. It was a moving story of the individual's struggle to have a life within the boundaries of their society and the impact of their sacrifices on themselves and those around them.
