Re: What are you reading?
"The Nuns of Sant'Ambrogio: The True Story of a Convent in Scandal" by Hubert Wolf.
A non-fiction account of murder, heresy, and lesbian initiation rites at a Roman convent in the mid 1800s. The book is built on evidence found in recently opened archives of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (inquisition) at the Vatican. Wolf covers the histirical, political, and sectarian factors that affected the investigation and the decision to keep the story secret..
Well written and compelling read I liked it.
