The Story of My Heart - My Autobiography

First published by Longman in 1883, this is a visionary reflection on the quality of consciousness, on life, mind and nature by a writer of extraordinary fluency and insight. There are purple passages of description and reflection that feed the soul and bring the reader back to the essentials of life and to the longing for what Eliot calls a 'deeper intensity, a further communion'. Well worth packing in your luggage for reflective holiday reading.
