reviewed The Road to Siena: The Essential Biography of St. Catherine on May 13, 2013
The Road to Siena
The strength of this biography is that it makes Catherine's historical context very clear. It explains the politics of Italy and the papacy at the time and Catherine's involvement in both. However, in focusing on this context, Gardner loses sight of Catherine, the individual. I felt that I never got to know who she was or how she became the extraordinary woman who inspired such faith and devotion in others. Although the book is very useful in explaining her role in contemporary politics, I need another biography that will tell me more about her as an individual, as a woman, as a writer, and as a saint.
