Sacred Hearts by Sarah Dunant

Quite entertaining, and a bit of light relief after Possession, but it won't set your world on fire. The novel is set in a fifteenth century nunnery and the main characters are an established nun who is the nunnery's dispensary and a new novice who's been unwillingly separated from her lover and forced to live in the convent. Both characters are likeable and the historical context is really interesting but the plot isn't fantastically exciting. There's nothing amazing about this book, but it is a good, light read and the historical element definitely makes it worth a read.
