Now in the pantheon of great thinkers, Simone Weil (1909–1943) lived largely in the shadows, searching for her spiritual home while bearing witness to the violence that devastated Europe twice in her brief lifetime. The letters she wrote to her parents and brother from childhood onward chart her intellectual range as well as her itinerancy and ever-shifting preoccupations, revealing the singular personality at the heart of her brilliant essays. The first complete collection of Weil's missives to her family, A Life in Letters offers new insight into her personal relationships and experiences.

The book is the ideal English introduction to the works and thought of Simone Weil.

Le malheur rend Dieu absent pendant un temps, plus absent qu'un mort, plus absent que la lumière dans un cachot complètement ténébreux. Une sorte d'horreur submerge toute l'âme. Pendant cette absence il n'y a rien à aimer. Ce qui est terrible, c'est que si, dans ces ténèbres où il n'y a rien à aimer, l'âme cesse d'aimer, l'absence de Dieu devient définitive. Il faut que l'âme continue à aimer à vide, ou du moins à vouloir aimer, fût-ce avec une partie infinitésimale d'elle-même.
