It was my birthday last Monday. One of the pleasant surprises was to be given a copy of Sarah Maitland's "Book of Silence". It is from what I can gather somewhat autobiographical and is as the title suggests a look into the world and nature of silence. Certainly of silence in a spiritual sense.
So far I have read the first chapter. It reminds me of another book written some time ago, "A Tide that Sings" by SR. Agnes, a modern anchoress who took her eremetic life to an isolated island near Shetland.
