Summary "Sister Teresa" by George Moore is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around Evelyn Innes, a once-famous singer who has left the stage and is now deeply involved with a convent, wrestling with her spiritual commitments and the demands of her previous life. The opening chapters introduce several key characters, including Mother Philippa and the Prioress, as they confront financial difficulties while drawing Evelyn back into the world of music and societal pressures. The beginning of "Sister Teresa" sets the tone for the existential and moral dilemmas Evelyn faces. As she learns of the convent's dire financial circumstances, Evelyn offers her support, revealing her deep emotional connection to the nuns and their plight. Her reflections on her past as an actress showcase a stark contrast between her former life filled with fame and the simplicity she seeks within the convent. The dialogues between Evelyn and the nuns convey their desperation and resilience while hinting at the tension between her responsibilities to the convent and the allure of her former life, setting the stage for her inner conflict as she contemplates returning to the stage, all while being pulled further into the spiritual realm she now navigates.
