Plum Dumplings & Prayer: "Three Nuns, Two Walkers and One Stubborn Convent"

By DAVID JB FOSTER

Plum Dumplings & Prayer

Three Nuns, Two Walkers, and One Stubborn Convent

Three elderly nuns. One closed convent. And absolutely no intention of going quietly.

When Sisters Bernadette, Regina and Rita - all well into their eighties - are told they must leave their convent and move into a retirement home, they refuse to accept that a lifetime of devotion can be packed into a suitcase. Instead, they plot the most unlikely escape Salzburg has ever seen.

What begins as forced relocation quickly becomes a cosy, comic caper involving squeaky walkers, smuggled flour, a laundry-cart getaway, and plum dumplings used as both comfort food and negotiation tool. With the help of former students and a fiercely loyal village, the sisters reclaim Kloster Goldenstein and bring it roaring back to life - one hymn, one repair job, and one dumpling at a time.

Warm-hearted, funny, and quietly rebellious, Plum Dumplings & Prayer is a celebration of community, ageing with dignity, and the stubborn joy of choosing where - and how - you live your life.

Perfect for readers who love:

Cosy, feel-good fiction

Humorous stories with heart

Older female protagonists

Village life and community spirit

Food-led storytelling

Put the kettle on, find a comfortable chair, and come home to Kloster Goldenstein - where the bells ring again, and no one gives up without a fight.
