The Life of St. Catherine Of Siena by Blessed Raymond of Capua Book Review By Christine Calabrese
The book is written like a letter. I think it may have been a letter to those who did not understand St. Catherine or mocked her; it’s not written as a novel, just a letter. Once I got over my expectation that this was a literary novel, I truly enjoyed the book and came to appreciate the author.
She was born the 19th child in her family and a twin. Her twin died in infancy. They were born on Annunc

Christine Calabrese
is on page 285 of 302 of All the Pretty Horses: A writer who can break all the rules of grammatical convention and hold your attention. There's a reason Cormac MeCarthy gets accolades, the credit is well-deserved. He is polished without the glitter; he makes writing look easy- it's not, and I know it. Some write others breath with their pen, this guy does the latter. I can only hope to garner a few tips from reading the book.
