A fine introduction to a remarkable woman,
By A Customer
This review is from: Simone: A Saint for Outsiders (Hardcover)
Yoder's Simone: A Saint for Outsiders is a fine, very readable introduction to the life of the French mystic, Simone Weil. His novel presents her as the remarkable, captivating and often controversial figure that she was during the first half of the 20th century. Throughout the book one senses the deep appreciation the author holds for Simone. Yet his portrayal is even-handed as he helps the reader discover her stubbornness and impatience as well as her courage and great love for the common folk of her day. For some, reading this book may be the first step in digging deeper into the life and thought of this saint for outsiders.
