What about the nuns? - Rated
This is a well-written informative book. There's an extraordinary amount of research in it presented in an entertaining way that moves swiftly. My quibble with it is that I heard on a BBC programme about five years ago that the Mercy nuns were in California very early, in the mid nineteenth century, and I searched in vain for reference to this in Myles Dungan's book.
