I was told that Peig actually had an affair with some islander (whilst married) and that it was in her book - I bet some old bag of a nun edited it out.
No way!! Now that I would have read with or without translation!! Peig is the only book I know that was more valuable second hand - because some other poor sod had taken the trouble to squeeze the translation above the text!!

I know some Sister savaged the spicier (if there is such a thing) elements out of our Shakespeare.
The lengths they went to! One girl in my class got detention for whistling, it wasn't even in the rules, whatever warped planet this Sister came from it meant something?? Welcoming in the devil or some such nonsense.
