Since the 19th century there have been five communities of Dominican Sisters in Britain, whose mother houses were in Stone, Stroud, Leicester, Harrow and London’s Portobello Road. Anselm Nye explores their history, work and influence through the lives of their founders, those of individual nuns, and their varied projects and interactions with the community, including the establishment of a mission beyond the Arctic Circle in Norway.
