STORY DESCRIPTION In 1888, the remote Convent of the Angels, located in the southern portion of the Brazilian province of Bahia, was rocked by scandal and revolt. The tale of the convent's redemption by a band of courageous novices is recounted in The Imitation of Christ, in which brave Sister Innocencia de Oliveira suffers cruelty and torture at the hands of her superiors before engineering their downfall with the help of the powerful bishop of Salvador.
The Convent of the Angels recounts the story of the convent's new and unexpected life under Sister Innocenia as all-powerful Mother Superior. New loves--and new tortures--await the brave band of novices.
