Translated by E Allison Peers, St. Teresa's autobiography, written in 1565 at the request of her confessor, is at once an extraordinary chronicle of a life governed by the desire to draw closer to God and a literary masterpiece that brings to life a woman of candor, humour, and great spiritual strength.
Teresa writes of her early life, the conflicts and crises she faced, and her decision to enter a life of prayer. Her lyrical, almost erotic descriptions of ecstatic experiences call to mind the sensuous language of the Song of Songs.
