Actually, it takes place in the Bronx just before Christmas in 1964 - though 40 and 45 years ago the Irish neighborhoods in the Bronx and Washington Heights were so much like Boston that when I visited them I'd keep thinking I could turn a corner and be back in Dorchester.

I agree that the Mother Superior's knowledge of sexuality seemed quite accute. It made me wonder what her marriage with her late husband had been like. But I thought the mother's understanding of her son and his situation was dead on.
