Some books about saints are great to help you go to sleep. This is not one of them. It's very well written, engaging and fun to read. Highly recommended!
As hard as I tried I could not get into this book. I ordered the book because I was fascinated by Bernini's sculpture. I was interested in a true female doctor of the church at a time when women were little more than chattel. The book is meticulously researched but I found it dry and confusing. I was unable to finish it. After writing this review it is probable nobody will want to waste a credit on this book but I would spare my fellow club members the agony of this read.
It's a very profound story of a great saint, one who is not as well known as many others, but was a true worker for Jesus. The book reflects the times, and the Church as it operated then.
