Called
the "incarnate devil", Sister Angelique is a nun at the
Vineyards convent for many years. Sister Lillian, another nun of the
convent, does not give details on the real reasons for this
qualification.
Past,
present and future meet, however, when she receives the visit, almost 25
years after their last meeting, of Minx Lockridge, who always comes to
her under the name of Madeleine Locke.
Past,
because in 1964, Minx came to give birth to a little girl at the
Vineyards convent. Past again, because thanks to Sister Angelique, Minx
was able to abandon her daughter to a family ready to love her and to
raise her as their daughter. Still past, because Sister Angelique, when
the child was brought back to her, gave her to Father Merlin for a new
adoption.
Present
and future, because today, Minx returns to solicit her to find this
child, her daughter...
It
is through the words of Sister Lillian and Minx that the portrait of
Sister Angelique is drawn. And as to know if she was so diabolical, the
story does not allow to know it for certain...
