The Nun of Monza by Mario Mazzucchelli (Translated by Evelyn Gendel) is a truly amazing book. (My copy, hardcover, published by Simon and Schuster 1963 cost $4.95. Surely this is on of my best purchases.)

A 5-page "translator's Introduction" is followed by 253 pages of amazing narration. It is the account of Sister Virginia's seven years long affair inside a convent. The transcript was long-concealed, but in1957 Mazzucchelli was allowed to read the testimonies of the 1607 trial.
