George Eliot in Middlemarch wrote of Teresa that her "passionate, ideal nature demanded an epic life". This is the story of that life.

"A Spanish classic - a must-read over there, apparently. I just wasn't a fan by the time I realized her "sins" were not as monumental as she kept saying. Nothing scandalous."
"Teresa is a very special woman. The story of her life as she wrote it is one of the great reads. To read this book is to make a friend for life. I like the one incident where she is tossed out of a coach into a muddy stream during a heavy rain and complained to God as she sat in the mud and water soaking wet. And God answered her and said this is how he treated his friends. Teresa was not one to be overwhelmed even by God and responded. "Well it is no wonder you have so few." A great book to read."
"I wanted to like this book. I had heard about it for years and I meditate but it was so anti women(I know the times)and I could never understand what she felt she had done that was so terrible."
"I was surprised by how very readable this book was. Saint Teresa seems to be a bit scrupulous about things, but perhaps that's the reason she's a saint and I am not? Anyway, I found a lot of inspiration for my own prayer life."
