Summary
This feminist novel "is an examination of childhood experiences viewed through the consciousness of a rebellious young girl in a convent school. Its unorthodox, minimally punctuated, and nonchronological narrative established Wittig's course as a writer ... The novel ... is a brilliant account of the making of a feminine subject, from childhood to adolescence."--Www.britannica.com.
