"Calvinin aikoina" by Deborah Alcock is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in the context of the Protestant Reformation, focusing on the lives of individuals in Geneva during this tumultuous period. Key characters include Claudine, a nun, and her brother Ami Berthelier, who navigate the shifting societal and religious landscapes as the Reformation takes hold. The opening portion of the novel introduces us to the
St. Clair nuns as they exit their convent in Geneva amidst the fervor of the Reformation. The scene is charged with tension as the town's citizens gather, demonstrating a mixture of respect and disdain for the departing nuns. Amidst the crowd, Claudine receives a surprise visit from her brother Ami, who confronts her about leaving the convent.
