QR code
"In Our Convent Days" by Agnes Repplier is a reflective narrative written in the early 20th century. The book explores the author's reminiscences of her time at a convent school, contrasting the simplicity and innocence of her childhood experiences with the modernizations that have since transformed the institution. Central to the narrative are her friendships with fellow students, particularly a romantic intrigue involving a new chaplain named Marianus. The opening of the
book sets a nostalgic tone as the author revisits the changes in her convent school environment since her own days there. She expresses skepticism towards the modern amenities introduced, reflecting on her longing for the past. The initial chapters introduce her youthful self and her companions, capturing their innocent adventures and the excitement surrounding the arrival of Marianus. Through playful observations and interactions, readers are invited to grasp the depth of friendships among the girls, their imaginative responses to the discoveries of adolescence, and the wistfulness associated with lost innocence.
