商品簡介
Through a collage of reflections on people, places, and times that have been part of her life, she shows the origins and requirements of "a vocation that has no name." She finds proof of this in the lives of others - Jacques Lusseyran who, though blind, wrote about his inner vision, surviving inside a concentration camp during World War II; the Scottish nun Sara Grant and Abbe Dubois, both of whom lived extensively in India where their vocation led them; and the English novelists Antonia White and Emily Bronte. With interludes referring to her own place and situation, Howe makes this book into a "progress" rather than a memoir.
