Description

Cathleen Medwick (au). A perceptive, intelligent, & lively biography which shows the robust spirituality & vibrant personality of the extraordinary woman known as Saint Teresa of Avila. Medwick vividly portrays Teresa as a very modern woman with a gift for administration, a passion for direct conversation with God, & a lifelong struggle to balance between the two. Medwick’s Teresa is lively & passionate -- a woman with that special magnetism the Spanish call ‘duende’. Willful, quirky, vain, visionary -- Teresa was all these things, & she comes wonderfully alive in these pages. With impeccable scholarship, Medwick presents a lucid & compelling account that erases the centuries that would separate us from this ambitious, charismatic, & always controversial Teresa. Illus.
