A New England Nun and Other Stories by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, Fiction, Short Stories by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman

5.0

I could not find the actual goodreads listing for ‘A New England Nun’ so this will have to do. It’s a beautifully written short story by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman who throughout her work showcases female portrayals that deviated from traditional heroins of her time. I definitely enjoyed the story and it left me wondering as its ending is not necessarily a happy one - it really depends on where you are in your life and the societal and cultural expectations for women you grew up in.
