  "Misplaced Sisterhood" by kmw2017 (see profile) 06/16/22

This came as a recommendation from find your next read type of book service. It did not resonate. If the author, Sarah Domet, intended to create empathy for the girls, the "Guineveres", it was lost on me. Less time on the saints and more time on the family circumstances that brought the girls to the Sisters of Supreme Adoration convent might have helped move the story along and help me to connect with Vere, Gwen, Win, and Ginny. I attended a girls only Catholic school so have some appreciation for the religious schooling the girls received, the role of the sisters, Sister Fran and even Father James. That felt all too familiar. The pain the pain of abandonment transferred to soldiers who could not reject their love felt possible but contrived. Heartache but not for the reader.
