In the second half, Anne Sebba examines the many difficult issues surrounding Mother Teresa's work: her attitudes toward abortion and rape, her association with dictators such as the Duvaliers in Haiti, her medical practices, and her fund-raising ethics. Yet the respect she received was not unanimous, and toward the end of her life serious, measured criticisms were directed at this modern icon, who had once seemed beyond reproach. This diminutive Albanian nun was frequently cited as the living embodiment of Christian kindness, received the Nobel Peace Prize, and was hailed as a living saint. Mother Teresa of Calcutta--few figures in the twentieth century have received such adulation. In her fascinating work, Anne Sebba looks carefully at all these views, giving the only objective account of Mother Teresa's life and work.The first half of the book follows the life of young Agnes Bojaxhiu, from her childhood in Serbian-dominated Skopje, to her decision to join the religious life, to her arrival in India during the British Raj.

Anne Sebba also probes with perception the social forces underpinning Mother Teresa's lionization in the West. It includes a chronological account of Albanian-born Agnes Bojaxhiu's early years before she founded the Missionaries of Charity in 1947

As I really liked the first book. She settled on how she wants to live and basically her life is pretty boring. If you like a story with a lot of suspense and tension, you will love this. Those higher food prices would wipe out any speculative economic gains from redeploying capital towards other industries.Given America's land configuration, it is unclear if capital invested in agriculture would truly have an alternative best use. Of course, it's like reading about kennedy or jesus--it always ends in the same horrifying way. This document (included in To Stand Alone) is a piece of impassioned logic which a Jefferson or Hancock would be proud to sign. Thanks to this book though, I can drink orange juice now, as much as I want, but I still stay away from the one that contains the pulp. I was surprised when the two detectives were split up, as was implied would happen in the bo
