Mother Inferior

Abstract

I gave myself my own joking moniker: the Mother Inferior.

As the years passed, I began to write a novel set in a fictionalized version of the Florentine convent where we once stayed. It, too, has twin beds and a Mother Superior fierce enough to make calls for more than a dozen years if need be. But unlike me, my protagonist travels alone. There is no risk of two people in one twin bed in this story.
