Two sisters give a entertaining and poignant profile of boarding institution life in Ireland in the 1960s. Mary and Valerie Behan were 11 years when they were delivered to Loreto Abbey Rathfarnham, a convent on the outskirts of Dublin. The Abbey was the Mom House of the Loreto Order of nuns who acquired established convents across the world. Now in their 60s and residing in the United States and Canada, Mary and Valerie started a correspondence about their six years at the Abbey. Although they distributed lots of the same experiences, to their astonishment and joy, they found that they saw the same world through very different eyes. Their college days are recounted in some letters that illustrate a remarkable, self-contained world governed by faith and tradition.
