The Land of Spices (Virago Modern Classics)
Set within the austere world of an Irish convent, 1941's Land of  Spices matches Helen, a Mother Superior feeling stymied by her  monastic existence, with Anna Murphy, a bright young girl on the  cusp of experiencing what promises to be a full, happy life.  Although their destinies lie along separate paths, the two are  pulled toward each other.Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an alternatePaperbackedition.
