I found this a bit slow to start with but once I got into the story I wanted to finish it, however I found the plot a bit dated and predictable. If it had been set about 30 or 40 years ago (or even more) it would have been more believable. I did not enjoy this as much as 'Thanks for the memories' mainly because the characters did not seem as rich and it had a lot less humour. If the character of Sister Ignatius had been built up more it would have added more interest and fun to the novel. Disappointing but readable. ( )
