"This is one in a series of medieval mysteries by Margaret Frazer that center on Sister Fravisse at St. Frideswide's priory. The Apostate's Tale focuses on the people in the cloister of St Frideswide's. The mystery centers upon an apostate nun who returns with her son, those who come in search of her, land deeds, and poisonings... Sister Fravisse applies her logical mind to solve the mystery.
Through the story one gains insights into the life of a nun and regimented spiritual disciplines. In Betti Cogswell's review, she writes, "The things I particularly like are some of the insights that few people have into what makes a nun, and what others hate about it. Life in a cloister is not freedom from self, but the honing of self, if one is called to the life. Thus you are given glimpses of all levels of contemplative life, from ex sister Cecely who ran away because she hates the narrowness of the cloister, and is totally self-centered; to sister Fravisse who chose the life and has learned the secret of the centered prayerful life in spite of self."
The story seemed to move slowly, yet life in the cloister moves slowly... in the end, I'm glad to have read the novel."
