About this listen

Audie Award Finalist, Inspirational, Faith-Based Nonfiction, 2016

With humor and opinions aplenty, a woman embarks on an unconventional quest to see if she is meant to be a nun.

Just as Jane Christmas decides to enter a convent in mid-life to find out whether she is “nun material”, her long-term partner Colin, suddenly springs a marriage proposal on her. Determined not to let her monastic dreams be sidelined, Christmas puts her engagement on hold and embarks on an extraordinary year-long adventure to four convents - one in Canada and three in the UK. In these communities of cloistered nuns and monks, she shares - and at times chafes and rails against - the silent, simple existence she has sought all of her life. Christmas takes this spiritual quest seriously, but her story is full of the candid insights, humorous social faux pas, profane outbursts, and epiphanies that make her books so relatable and popular. And Then There Were Nuns offers a seldom-seen look inside modern cloistered life, and it is sure to ruffle more than a few starched collars among the ecclesiastical set.

I absolutely loved this book and didn't want it to end. It was so rich in a variety of ways. The narrator was brilliant and brought the author's words to life. I lived every minute of Jane's journey and search for the question of whether or not to be a nun. The book had serious and humorous moments. Coming from an Anglo Catholic background myself, I could so relate to some of her experiences.

This book helped me to look deeper into my own faith and I would listen to it all over again. No other book has grabbed my attention as much as this one did. Thank you Jane.

Wonderful book!

It was different

I enjoyed the humour of this book and the sincerity of it right up until the last chapter when it became like a platform to air the authors views without the possibility to balance the views. This was a shame as it marred the end to an excellent book

Enjoyable

Starts lighthearted, enjoyable and thought provoking. However soon changes, becomes dark and to be honest quite wierd in parts. Really wished I hadn't bought this.
