    Guide for parents: sexuality.

    Suzanne, the teenage daughter of a once-rich family, is forced into a convent when her parents can no longer afford a dowry for her. There, she finds the atmosphere harsh and punitive, the sisters collusive, conniving, and cruel. A second nunnery to which she absconds is the opposite: permissiveness trumps piety, and the wanton Mother Superior lusts after the cowering novice. When Suzanne escapes over the convent wall with the aid of a rapist priest, she discovers that her only other option is another form of captivity, prostitution.
