Industry reviews
In 1991, freelance author and translator Spink gained Mother Teresa's permission and blessing to tell the world the story of her life and work. Spink's biography benefits from her own 18-year involvement with the work of the Missionaries of Charity Order as well as from the intimate relationship she developed over the years with Mother Teresa. In meticulous fashion, Spink weaves a mosaic of Mother Teresa's life, using momentous events such as Teresa's childhood and her experience of a "call within a call" to religious vocation, Teresa's departure from the Loreto Order to establish the Missionaries of Charity, her tireless work among the sick and dying poor of Calcutta and the recognition of Teresa's humanitarian work when she received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. While Spink provides this biographical outline, she incorporates excerpts from Mother Teresa's own letters, speeches and other writings to illustrate Teresa's conviction that working to care for the poor, sick and dying was a way of tending to the body of Christ and a way of expressing God's unconditional love to the "poorest of the poor." A final chapter in the book provides glimpses of Mother Teresa's affection for Princess Diana, a brief description of Mother Teresa's funeral and a short account of the election of Sister Nirmal as her successor. Spink responds to what critics have called Mother Teresa's questionable relationships with dictators by noting that "she treated dictators like friends just because she believed that every human being contained divine life." Marked by exhaustive detail and workmanlike prose, Spink's biography is a classic hagiography, yet another argument in favor of Teresa's seemingly inevitable future canonization. (Oct.) Lopate Innumerable books have been written about Mother Teresa. . . . Spink knew Mother Teresa personally, was involved with her Missionaries of Charity 'for nearly 18 years,' and was given permission to write her biography, which distinguishes this one from the many others. It covers her life from her youth in Albania to her winning the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1979 to her work in India. Certainly it does not try to attack the saint as did Anne Sebba [Mother Teresa; Beyond the Image, 1997] or to interpret her efforts in other than favorable lights; it does try to give a sense of a very austere woman who chose to spend her life getting close to suffering. Annotation copyright H.W. Wilson Company. Smothers If Spink tends to sidestep criticisms of Mother Teresa, she compensates by having a good grasp of the nun's slow development as a servant of the poor and by providing interesting background about those who were close to her in the early days. . . . Spink is sensitive to Mother Teresa's complex relationship with India. . . . The true significance of Mother Teresa is that her life and labors demonstrated that a certain kind of traditional piety and vision of life, long present in the Catholic tradition, still have vigor. . . . Archbishop Helder Cpamara once said that when he helped the poor he was called a saint; when he asked why they were poor, he was called a communist. Mother Teresa never asked the second question, but she lovingly helped the poor. Spink's affectionate portrait of this remarkable woman shows us why so many call her a saint. The book beautifully serves Mother Teresa's memory and will continue to do so until someone, with the advantage of distance, provides us a fuller, less awed account. Annotation copyright H.W. Wilson Company. Cunningham
