Every Tuesday I'll post about where my reading is taking me. You can join the fun too. Visit An Adventure in Reading to find out more.
This week I am enjoying a view of life in the nunnery in Ferrara, Italy in 1570 where daughters were sold, often against there wills, to convents because the expenses of a wedding dowry were too high. The politics inside the confining walls are as fascinating as the characters who live within.
