Description
About the Book
Nanda Gray, the daughter of a Catholic convert, is nine when she is sent to the Convent of Five Wounds. Quick-witted, resilient and eager to please, she accepts this closed world where, with all the enthusiasm of the outsider, her desires and passions become only those the school permits. Her only deviation from total obedience is the passionate friendships she makes... Convent life is perfectly captured - the smell of beeswax and incense, the petty cruelties of the nuns, and the eccentricities of Nanda's school friends.About the Author
Antonia White (Londres, 1899) se educó en el Convento del Sagrado Corazón de Roehampton tras la conversión de su padre al catolicismo. Fue expulsada del Convento por un polémico escrito que le dedicó a su padre y continuó su formación en la St. Paul's School. Tras una infructuosa carrera en el mundo de la actuación, trabajó como periodista y redactora en numerosas revistas y, después, en agencias publicitarias. Tras nueve años en el mundo de la publicidad trabajó como traductora para la BBC, sus traducciones literarias siguen siendo valoradas hoy en día, por sus manos pasaron autores como Collette, Maguerite Duras o Guy de Maupassant. En 1933 Antonia White publicó su primera novela Helada en Mayo (Impedimenta, 2025) que se inspiraba en parte en la propia infancia de la autora en el Convento del Sagrado Corazón. Su protagonista, Fernanda «Nanda» Grey, volvería en las novelas The Lost Traveller (1950), The Sugar House (1952) y Beyond The Glass (1954). Además, escribió volúmenes de relatos cortos, libros infantiles y autobiografía. Antonia White falleció en 1980 en el pueblo de Danehill, East Sussex.Suggested Age: 22 Years and Up
