Interpretive text
"The Reluctant Nun is by no means a literary object but it is open to interpretation. Is it merely an artist's imagination translated to a story of fear, deception and religious hypocrisy or to one of unconditional love, forgiveness and women's resourcefulness? Reader's choice." Extract from artist's statement.
