rabck from rubyrebel; historical fiction set in Prato, Italy in the 1450's; Due to poverty, the Buti sisters are sent to the convent to become nuns. One of the friars is a painter and Lucrezia becomes his muse. The Catholic church and well as society are filled with corrupt and politically powerful men; interestingly friars and nuns can marry, if they get the right paperwork and dispensations (and pay indulgences) for the privilege
