A very interesting story about a nun who entered a strict contemplative order as a teenager and finds her faith lacking thirteen years later. When her brother dies, leaving behind a near-bankrupt family business and a pregnant wife, Sister Gabriel is forced to leave the convent temporarily and do battle with investment bankers, shifty managers, her depressed sister-in-law, her own spiritual crisis and belated sexual awakening. The basis for a wonderful miniseries starring Kristin Scott-Thomas.
