Description
She was the last person anyone would have expected to become a nun, yet she became one of the most famous nuns of all time. With this fresh translation of The Book of My Life, Mirabai Starr brings the inimitable Spanish mystic to life for a new generation?with contemporary English that mirrors Teresa?s own earthy, vernacular Spanish, and that presents us with?four centuries after Teresa?s death?someone we feel we know: a woman intoxicated with God yet filled with an overflowing love for the world.
