The Wounded Soldier in the Convent (Unabridged)

Summary

Enter the quiet sanctuary of a convent, shattered by the clatter of a carriage. A wounded soldier, gruff and hardened by war, is brought within its tranquil walls. His world of battle clashes with the pious devotion of the nuns. He scoffs at their prayers, swears openly, and fills the air with cynicism. But within these cloistered walls, a battle of a different kind is about to unfold. Will the unwavering faith and gentle touch of the sisters be enough to mend not just his shattered body, but the hardened shell around his heart? Find out in "The Wounded Soldier in the Convent" by François Coppée.
