A Vow Of Silence (U) (Ulverscroft Large Print Series)

The story of a modern young woman living under medieval discipline, finding that her two worlds collide. Sister Joan of the Order of the Daughters of Compassion has been sent to the convent in Cornwall to solve the puzzle in the last letter of a dying nun. She learns of the novice who has vanished, the accident that may not have been an accident, and a young man hiding in the bracken. In an atmosphere of silence, prayer and increasing menace, Sister Joan tries to discover the truth without violating the vows she has taken.
