“Without Faith, there is no refuge.”
.
I’ve been teetering between 3 and 4 star ratings for this book since I finished it. Ultimately I’m giving this a 4 star because the story has been living rent free in my brain since I finished it.
.
Composed mostly of pages of a Nun’s secret diary, this is a slow paced novel that manages to mix in quite a few tropes expertly. You will find themes of Religious Bigotry, Cult Mentality, Dystopian Future, Sapphic Horror and I even felt like there was a bit of Magical Realism mixed in.
.
I connected to the main character because I felt privileged to be able to read such an intimate account of her life trials- both beautiful and sad.
.
Like every cult documentary I’ve watched, in the end we find out this convent isn’t so Holy.
.
If you like Religious Horror novels, I definitely recommend picking this book up!
