told by Malcolm Muggeridge

She carried the Red Flag at miners' parades while a teacher at a girls' school; associated with Trotskyites; fought in the Spanish Civil War. Yet T.S. Eliot, Gide, Camus and Iris Murdoch agree that her book "Waiting on God" is a spiritual classic.
In Holy Week 1938 Christ entered her being once and for all. But she refused to join the Church and thus, as Gide put it, became the patron saint of all outsiders. This young Frenchwoman died in England 30 years ago, and is buried in a pauper's grave.
Among those taking part:
Andre Weil, her brother, a leading mathematician
Jacques Soustelle, politician and one-time associate of De Gaulle
