Vocations by Gerald O'donovan
Gerald O'Donovan's novel Vocations (1921) is set in a small town in late Victorian Ireland, and is a searing indictment of treating young women like commodities, in the marriage market or the market in nuns.
Gerald O’Donovan was ordained in 1895, and was a friend of Lady Gregory, W B Yeats and George Moore, and a supporter of Gaelic League. He left the priesthood in 1908 to work in London’s East End, and married in 1910. He had a secret twenty-year affair with the novelist Rose Macaulay: Vocations was written at the height of this relationship. He died from cancer in 1940.
