Litt., but failed to obtain a doctorate, and then as a teacher in a private girls’ school in London, a position from which she was dismissed after a few years, she was what can best be described as an emotional wreck. First as a student at Oxford, where she earned a B.A. Now, to describe the turnings her life took as she struggled to find her way in a secular world, Armstrong ( Islam, 2000, etc.) adopts the image of a spiral staircase as a symbol of spiritual progress in T.S.
An introspective, decidedly un-cheery work that seeks to set the author’s record straight.Īfter Armstrong wrote an account of her seven years as a Catholic nun ( Through the Narrow Gate, 1981), she followed it up with a cheery but admittedly untruthful memoir depicting her new life outside the convent ( Beginning the World, 1983).
