Alice HoffmanA modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more.
The novel’s paperback edition has an interview with Alice Hoffman in which she cites mother superior (Sister Marie) as the character that moved her the most. Write a character study of this figure (Chapter 18) as a heroic presence determined to do right in a world of evil.
