blueyorkie 's review for:
The Nun
by Denis Diderot
Suzanne, the narrator, is sixteen years old, has two sisters, and a lawyer father with "more fortune than necessary to establish them solidly."
The problem is that her father is not her father; the two sisters will each have half of the fortune, and Suzanne will find herself in a convent to atone for her mother's sin.
Her parents' wish is not hers, and she will do everything to escape these convents, which will reserve cruel moments for her.
To write this book, Diderot started with a fact. "Work of public and general utility because it was the cruellest satire we had ever made of the cloisters."
