The Ladies of Loretto

De: Viga Boland

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A humorous memoir of 4-5 years in a Catholic Girls High School located in Toronto, Ontario during the early 1960's. If you attended any of the Loretto College Schools anywhere in North America during the early 60's, you will enjoy recalling the discomfort of wearing dark serge uniforms with stiff plastic collars and cuffs in an era when the Pope declared the "Twist" sinful and the threat of nuclear war with Russia seemed imminent. What were you doing the day President Kennedy was assassinated? And how did you feel when the Beatles burst on the scene? For the author, Viga Boland, her friends and teachers were a welcome escape from the abusive home she wrote about in her first memoir, "No Tears for my Father". Readers of the other 3 books in this series will enjoy this lighthearted remembrance where the nuns did their best to help students become proud "ladies of Loretto".
