About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Life in the Grey Nunnery at Montreal, by Sarah J Richardson. Read by Brendan Stallard. "People may not credit the story now, but a day will surely come when they will know that I speak the truth." An authentic narrative of the horrors, mysteries, and cruelties of convent life by Sarah J. Richardson, an escaped nun. Life in the Grey Nunnery was first published in Boston, in 1857 by Edward P. Hood, who was credited as the book's editor. It is likely that this account is by Sarah J. Richardson "as told to" Edward Hood, though it may in fact be completely fictional. It is clearly an anti-Catholic book, an example of the genre of fiction referred to as "the convent horror story." As this summary shows, it is not known if this book is fictional or a true account.(Summary by project Gutenberg and Elaine Webb)
