alisarae 's review for:
Teresa of Ávila: The Book of My Life
by Teresa of Ávila
I appreciated this translation: it's quite modern and slightly abridged to cut down on the repetition a bit. Even so, there is a lot of repetition and circling back. In a way, I'm glad there was so much repetition because it took me over a year of occasional reading to get through it! (thanks to #AxeTheStacks I finally finished it off).
Teresa's personality shines so earnest and true, it is hard to believe that she wrote this nearly 500 years ago. She must have been so full of energy and zest. And her blunt honesty made me smile.
