Burning ambition. A review of The Calling by Fleur Beale
New Zealand Listener 7 Jun 2021
https://pressreader-com.wcl.idm.oclc.org/article/282308208034197
Molly Conway made a vow to her dying mother that she'd become a nun.
It was not all that uncommon in the late 19th century, when The
Calling is set, except her dad is a Methodist and his new wife doesn't
discover until she moves in that her stepdaughter is one of those
hated Catholics. She burns all the 15-year-old's religious treasures,
save for a letter from Mother Mary Joseph Aubert, the French nun who
has set up a mission station on the Whanganui River. That burning is
the catalyst for the devout and hard-working teen to leave her home
and three young brothers and set off on foot for Jerusalem, in search
of the woman she has long dreamed of meeting.
