CA $12.65
In 1962, at age seventeen, Karen Armstrong entered a convent, eager to meet God. After seven brutally unhappy years as a nun, she left her order to pursue English literature at Oxford. But convent life had profoundly altered her, and coping with the outside world and her expiring faith proved to be excruciating. Her deep solitude and a terrifying illnessdiagnosed only years later as epilepsymarked her forever as an outsider. In her own mind she was a complete failure: as a nun, as an academi.
