Short Review: I really love this series. It can be more than a little meandering. But the organization isn't the point. The point is the exploration of life and the wisdom that can be gained from it. This third book in the series of memoirs is roughly organized around the Liturgical year. It is very rough. Some of the connections are pretty tenuous. But again, that isn't really the point.

This also fits in with a lot of the resurgent thought recently about the liturgical year, the importance of repetition of the liturgy in general and the importance of regular seasons of grief, joy, celebration, introspection and ‘ordinary time'.

One more of the memoirs to go, the last one is on her marriage.
