520 _a"Valkoiset sisaret: Tarina kahdenneltatoista vuosisadalta" by Florence L. Barclay is a historical novel likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds in a 12th-century monastery setting, focusing on the lives and experiences of the nuns, particularly the character of Sister Mary Antony, an elderly lay sister tasked with counting and ensuring the safe return of her fellow nuns after evening services. The book explores themes of faith, community, and the struggles faced by women within a religious context. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the serene yet solemn atmosphere of the cloister, where Sister Mary Antony is engaged in her daily ritual of counting the nuns as they return from a service. Her reflections reveal the deep sense of duty she feels, shaped by a past incident involving a lost sister. This establishes a narrative tone that blends the spiritual with the domestic, as Mary Antony navigates both her responsibilities and her thoughts on life within the monastery. There are hints of a playful dynamic as Mary Antony engages in a whimsical game with dried peas, symbolizing her connection to the nuns, while also hinting at her own internal struggles and fears related to aging and duty.
