A Prize for Sister Catherine

Crisis looms at Albion Priory.  The Prioress is old and in poor health, and she must name her successor.  But her ineffective leadership has led to spiritual malaise and financial peril.  Only sweeping reforms can save the convent from ruin.

Margaret and Catherine are the two likely candidates, but how different they aer, and how difficult it is to choose between them!  Sister Margaret, bold, bossy and ruthless, will stop at nothing to get her own way.  Sister Catherine, on the other hand, has an innate spirituality which may better serve the community in the long run.

As Kathleen Rowntree once more turns her keen and perceptive eye on the hidden life of a close-knit group, she weaves a gripping and dramatic story that combines compassion and ambition, sex and intrigue, jealousy, madness and death.
