The Nun by Denis Diderot

The seemingly true story of a young girl forced by her parents to enter a convent and take holy orders. A novel mingling mysticism, madness, sadistic cruelty and nascent sexuality, it gives a scathing insight into the effects of forced vocations and the unnatural life of the convent. Translated and with an introduction by Leonard Tancock. One of the great novels of 18th Century France
