I thought Joan Goodfellow was terrific in the role of Sister E. She was both lovely and tragic. But I never got a chance to read the novel. The cost of the book on EBay is outrageous. And I'm wondering what Sister E's real name is. Is E supposed to be short for Elspeth?

Yes, that does make sense. She's Elspeth, Junior, and they call her Sister E to avoid confusion. But, I don't know, for sure.
The novels that movies sometimes are based on usually go into much more detail about the characters. I know that Sue Grafton wrote the original novel, but apparently it's out of print and next to impossible to find. I would bet that the original novel says what Sister E's true name is.
shareWoW. $1500.00 for a copy of the book on biblios.com.
shareRight. And I don't know why it's out of print or why used copies are so expensive either. Apparently, very few of the books were printed. And the fact that Sue Grafton is a popular author probably makes the original copies more expensive also.
