Annotation

This is a well-written and insightful overview of Simone Weil's life and thought. Although it is an attempt to cover all aspects of Weil's thought in fewer than one hundred and sixty pages, it still manages to offer a remarkable depth of critical reflection on some of the key aspects and would be very useful as an introduction to Weil and her work.
