Secrets of San Mercado

Sister Teresa Anthony, the strict Vice-Principal of Our Lady of San Mercado Grammar School, is dedicated to maintaining discipline among students, using her trusty wooden ruler as a tool for enforcing rules. She views misbehavior as a significant sin, especially in a school environment that deliberately avoids discussing topics like sex, which is considered unspeakable. The narrative explores the tension between strict educational values and the realities of adolescent curiosity and behavior, set against the backdrop of a conservative Catholic school.
