[quote=""Susan""]There's lots of novels about nuns and there is even a topic here about that very subject: http://www.historicalfictiononline.com/ ... php?t=2258[/quote]
Dialogues des Carmelites by Georges Bernanos is a classic in the field, about a group of Carmelite nuns guillotined during the French Revolution. Not sure where to find it in English, though. Poulenc made an opera of it.
