| dbo:abstract | Geschichte einer Nonne (Original: The Nun’s Story) ist ein Roman von Kathryn Hulme, der am 6. September 1956 bei Atlantic-Little Brown erschien. Der Roman wurde in den Vereinigten Staaten zunächst als „Buch des Monats“ präsentiert und erreichte Platz 1 der Bestsellerliste der New York Times. Es wurde verschiedentlich irrtümlich vermutet, der Roman spiegle Hulmes eigene Erfahrungen wieder, tatsächlich basiert er aber auf Leben und Erinnerungen von Marie Louise Habets, einer früheren Ordensschwester der Barmherzigen Schwestern von Jesus und Maria, einer pflegenden Kongregation, der Hulme 1945 bei der Arbeit mit Flüchtlingen im Nachkriegsdeutschland begegnet war. Habets siedelte später mit Kathryn Hulme in die Vereinigten Staaten über, Hulme konvertierte zur römisch-katholischen Kirche. (de) The Nun's Story is a 1956 novel by Kathryn Hulme. It was a Book of the Month selection and reached #1 on The New York Times Best Seller list. Hulme wrote the book based partly upon the experiences of her friend, Marie Louise Habets of the Sisters of Charity of Jesus and Mary, a Belgian nurse and an ex-nun whom she met while working with refugees in post-war Europe. The author sponsored the former nun's immigration to the United States, and later converted to Catholicism. It often is stated erroneously that the book was based upon Hulme's experiences. The lead character of the book, Sister Luke (pre-convent name Gabrielle Van Der Mal), finds her faith tested in Africa where she finds herself at odds with headstrong Dr. Fortunati, operator of a remote hospital in the Belgian Congo, with whom she gradually builds respect, and again during World War II, when she is ordered not to take sides. Ultimately, Sister Luke is forced to decide whether to remain in the convent or return to the outside world. Gabrielle/Sister Luke is stretched between her desire to be faithful to the rule of her congregation and her desire to be a nurse. As a nun, she must remove all vestiges of "Gabrielle Van Der Mal" and sublimate herself into the devoted bride of Christ. As a nun, there is no room for her personal desires and aspirations. Ultimately, the conflict between her devotion to the Church and the nursing profession, juxtaposed with her passionate Belgian patriotism and her love of her father (killed by Nazi fighter planes while treating wounded) bring her to an impasse, which serves as the dénouement of the novel.
