An uplifting story about an extraordinary teacher nun with a passion for motorbikes!;Dark, grey, dilapidated buildings, leaking rain...Sister Vincent's first impression of St Agnes in the Pasture convent school is hardly inspirational. But then to straight-laced Mother Margaret Aloysius, her nuns and three teenage girl pupils, the new arrival is something of a sight herself in silver wellies and pink glasses, a box of tools under one arm. The Lord, it seems, is moving in a very mysterious way indeed sending a dynamic, globe-trotting teacher of motor mechanics to a school that barely has electric lighting, never mind a car. The discovery of an ancient motorbike in the barn, however, gives Sister Vincent and the run-down school a surprising and exhilarating kick-start! And for Helen, Sara and Isobel it's a real education!;Dyan Sheldon's books include "Dreams of an Average Man" and "My Life as a Whale'.
