Thiruvananthapuram: Sister Jesme, whose
tell-all memoirs about her bitter experiences as a nun hit
headlines earlier this year, has received invitation to attend
the famous Frankfurt Book Fair.
Invited as a special guest at the world's largest book fair,
Sr Jesme would be reading from her autobiogaphy "Amen" to the
audience at the festival on October 17, her publisher DC Books
said in a statement today.
"Amen", in which Jesme has narrated her shocking experiences
including sexual overtures by some priests, had broken all
records in Malayalam publishing, running into its 10th reprint
within less than year of its release.
The book has been published in English by Penguin recently
and it would have its versions in other Indian languages also
soon.
Discussions were also on for its translation into
European languages, the release added.
