Suspense Psychological
A Belgian nun retires after laboring fifty-five years as a
nurse in the Congo. Now she yearns to reach out to the world
outside with her unique story. She entered the convent out of love for a classmate whose
ambition was to be a nun. Her concern is that what she says
will not do justice to her beloved or to her life’s love
story. That concern imposes the obligation to tell the truth
completely and unadornedly. Then too, she is beset by the
question of suicide: what to do if life is not worth living?
That started the day of her vows after she was told that her
mother had ended her life. Her beloved then commits suicide
and she is left alone to witness the decolonization of the
Congo. Having arrived there in 1945 she has a front row
seat. Dauntlessly she recounts what the Congolese do and how
Belgium struggles to retain its grip on the colony. As to
the question regarding suicide, she is able to answer in the
manner her own life ends.
