| Description |
It is 1964. Sister Aloysius oversees a large Roman Catholic school, with an eye to her pupils' souls as much as their books. A woman with a reputation for tenacity and flinty resolve, she inhabits a world of black and white, truth and lies. So when she begins to harbour doubts about the parish priest Father Flynn - and his closeness to altar boys - she pursues her quarry with determination and steely-eyed certainty.
The misgivings of colleagues, the protestations of parents and the confidential denial of the priest himself have no effect. |
