Story of a Soul: The Autobiography of St. Therese of Lisieux by Thérèse de Lisieux
informative
reflective
slow-paced
2.0
It's from 1898 and from France so the writing is a bit dated. She also talks about flowers a lot.
No question that she was incredibly devoted and did a lot of good in her short life. I listened to this on Librivox and some people talked about how much this book changed their life. I didn't feel that way but that could be because I listened in fits and spurts and/or you need to be Catholic to understand the devotion that Therese had.
Still, glad I listened to it and glad that it's done. It was around 7 hours so it's pretty short if you listen to that version. Some were longer and I'm not sure why.
The most interesting parts to me were about her family.
