If you liked Call the Midwife, you will love Kicking the Habit!
What makes a fun-loving teenager turn her back on a life of
parties, boys and fun, to become a nun in a French convent? And
what later leads her to abandon the religious life, to return to
the big wide world and later marry? At the age of 18, Eleanor
Stewart goes to France to enter a convent. After four years of
struggling with the religious life, she becomes a nun, and then
trains as a midwife in a large inner-city hospital in Liverpool.
While Beatlemania grips the nation, she attempts to coordinate the
reclusive demands of the religious life with the drama, excitement
and occasional tragedy of the hospital world. Written with honesty
and affection, this is a wonderful and intimate portrait of convent
and hospital life.
