Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. At the start of the novel, where was Gabriella hiding?

Answer: In her closet

Gabriella's parents, John and Eloise Harrison, were not exactly happily married, and Eloise was extremely jealous of Gabriella. Eloise found Gabriella in her bedroom closet and beat her senseless. Eloise did that a lot and Gabriella's father ignored it all.

2. With whom did Gabriella chat at the Harrisons' party?

Answer: Marianne Marks

Marianne Marks was at the Harrisons' party and was dressed in a white chiffon dress with a tiara. They chatted secretly so the jealous and vengeful Eloise wouldn't see them. Eloise would later beat the child severely.

3. Who took Gabriella to the hospital?

Answer: John Harrison

During the evening Eloise gave Gabriella a severe beating, leaving her lying on the floor in a pool of blood. Her father came home hours later to find her in that state. He scooped her up and rushed her to the hospital, telling them she fell down the stairs.

4. Where did Eloise abandon Gabriella?

Answer: Convent

After John Harrison left his wife and child for good, Gabriella received a severe beating and tongue lashing from her mother. Over the next few years the beatings were few and far between. Then Eloise dropped her off at a convent, never to see her again.

5. Where did Gabriella go to college?

Answer: Columbia

Mother Gregoria had told Gabriella's teachers to apply to Columbia University for her. Reluctantly, Gabriella went to the college even though she was very scared.

6. What name did Gabriella chose as a nun?

Answer: Bernadette

Gabriella decided to join a group of postulants at St. Matthews Convent and everyone there agreed she made the perfect decision. The name she chose was "Bernadette", with her nickname being "Sister Bernie".

7. How did Father Connors' parents die?

Answer: Heart attack and suicide

Joe Connors' father died of a heart attack at the young age of 42, and his mother committed suicide three days later.

8. Where did Father Connors and Sister Bernadette have their secret meetings?

Answer: Washington Square Park

Bernadette and Father Connors first met at the convent. They then met in secret at Washington Square Park while she was running errands. They later consummated their secret relationship, which resulted in her getting pregnant.

9. Where was Mother Gregoria planning on sending Gabriella?

Answer: Oklahoma

She was being sent away after her relationship with Father Connors was made known. Father Connors had committed suicide, feeling guilty over having a relationship at all. Mother Gregoria sent Gabriella to her room with orders not to speak to anyone. That was when Gabriella felt the first pains of a miscarriage without realizing what the pains were.

She later lost so much blood she was sent to the hospital, where she nearly died.

10. How much was Gabriella's rent when she roomed with Mrs. Boslicki?

Answer: $250

At an old brownstone with a chipping facade and a sign read "Rooms For Rent". Mrs. Boslicki liked Gabriella, so she took off $50 and let her have the room for $250. Or more precisely, "two-fifty" in Mrs. Boslicki's words.
