Reviews

"St. Augustine's mother, Monica, emerges from these humane pages as 'an ordinary woman', who mothered Augustine, his brother and his friends and was a gentle and curious interlocutor in their discussions. But Gillian Clark is also interested in questions like how Monica dressed, and what she did all day. This short and elegant book is also a real tour de force." --Averil Cameron, University of Oxford
"Gillian Clark is a pioneer who has worked long and sympathetically among the women of late antiquity and what we know of them. Now in this richly-packed and vivid study, she has brought to life Monica of Tagaste." --James J. O'Donnell, Arizona State University
"Clark has offered readers of our day a fuller portrait of one quite ordinary woman, who became for later Christians, something extraordinary, a saint in her own right." -- Los Angeles Review of Books
