Her attempts to reach happiness and carve out a career failed repeatedly, in spectacular fashion. Despite her departure from the convent she remained within the Catholic Church until the God she believed in 'died on me', and she entered a 'wild and Godless period of crazy parties and numerous lovers'.
After seven years in a convent, which she left, dismayed by its restrictions, an experience recounted in 'Through the Narrow Gate', Karen Armstrong struggled to establish herself in a new way of life, and became entrapped in a downward spiral, haunted by despair, anorexia and suicidal feelings. A raw, intensely personal memoir of spiritual exploration from one of the world's great commentators on religion.
