The Dialogues, Book One (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781914147296)

Nanna has been a nun. She's been a wife. She has also been a courtesan. And now, as her daughter turns sixteen, she must decide how to advise on her path in life. On what route should she send young Pippa?

Bawdy, filthy, hilarious and uproarious, listen to Nanna regale her friend Antonia with scandalous tales-tales of seduction, blasphemy, lies, dishonesty, thievery, nastiness, cruelty and treachery-in an attempt to decide on what course to set her daughter: should she be a nun, a wife or a whore?

A modern translation by author Ultan Banan.
