Description
The complete version of the story of a former novice who spent several years in one of the well-known Russian women’s monasteries. This book wasn’t written for publication, and not even so much for readers as first and foremost for herself—intended for therapeutic purposes. The author tells how she tried to follow the path of monastic life by entering an exemplary public monastery. She had no idea that the holy abode would turn out to resemble a totalitarian hell and take so many years of her life. “Confession of a Former Novice” is the life of a modern women’s monastery as it really is, described from the inside—without embellishment.
