...read your cryptic but perceptive Oct. 28 review of Monica Baldwin's The Called and the Chosen. I would like to express a few deep-rooted convictions on these notorious "ex-nuns" and "ex-priests" who, through some psychological guilt complex, delight in tearing to shreds the consecrated cloisters and convents they had no right to enter in the first place.

Martin and Heinrich would just as soon forget the war, and so would their elders, bowed by a dead weight of memory and guilt. Martin's mother Nella, a blonde beauty who looks "exactly like the women pictured in the Nazi books about race-only not so boring." drifts through the years giving and going to dull parties. It seems to her that she is endlessly playing in an endless movie. People answer the phone...
