Holy the firm

In 1975 Annie Dillard took up residence on an island in Puget Sound, in a wooden room furnished with one enormous window, once cat, one spider and one person. For the next two years she asked herself questions about time, reality, sacrifice, death, and the will of god. [In this book of meditations] she writes about a moth consumed in a candle flame, about a seven-year-old girl burned in an airplane accident, about a baptism on a cold beach. But behind [reality] she sees, sometimes far off and sometimes as close by as a veil or air, the power play of holy fire.-Back cover
