Publisher's Synopsis

""Saint Catherine of Genoa"" is a biography of the life and spiritual journey of Catherine of Genoa, a 15th-century Italian mystic and saint. Written by Charlotte Balfour, the book explores Catherine's early life as a wealthy and privileged young woman, her marriage to a man who was unfaithful and abusive, and her subsequent conversion to a life of prayer and service to others.Balfour delves into Catherine's mystical experiences and her writings, which were highly influential in the Catholic Church and in the development of Christian spirituality. The book also examines the historical and cultural context of Catherine's life, including the political and religious turmoil of Italy during the Renaissance.Through her vivid and detailed portrayal of Catherine, Balfour offers readers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who dedicated herself to God and to serving others. The book is a testament to Catherine's enduring legacy and to the power of faith and devotion in the face of adversity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
