Hello everyone,
Here are some questions for you to think about while you finish this months book in time for Thursday.
- What is Zuana's interest in Serafina? What are the differences between the two women...and in what way does the younger woman challenge the older one? Who changes whom in the process of this story?
- Do you see the sisters of Santa Caterina as prisoners confined within the convent walls or, given the harsh reality of life outside for women, do you believe they in fact enjoyed more freedom and creativity than women on the outside? If you were a woman living then and could choose to live inside or out, which choice would you make?
- Serafina suffers from holy anorexia. Many people today think of eating disorders as a product of contemporary fashion, celebrity, and pop culture, but what can holy anorexia teach us about the modern disease?
- Which of the characters do you think suffer in the restrictive environment and which of them thrive and learn to manipulate the system? How do you think you would have responded if placed in such an environment?
I hope you all enjoyed the book and i hope to see you all on Thursday. Don't forget to collect your January book during the meeting!
