Mother Teresa: The Centenary Edition

An updated, centenary edition of the acclaimed biography of the most admired woman in the world.

‘‘ ‘Chawla write[s] clear-headedly about Mother Teresa’s failings, such as leaving donations unacknowledged … [Mother Teresa’s] negative side is minute compared to the vast ocean of charity she has dispensed to the poor—without any discrimination … This non-exclusivity, in a world torn by religious intolerance, is the real message I took from this book.’—Lady Antonia Fraser

‘‘Of the books so far written about her, Navin Chawla’s is perhaps the most detailed … a meticulously researched work that approaches its subject with the level-headed briskness characteristic of Mother Teresa herself’—The Times of India

‘‘An absorbing biography … provides a splendid view from the inside about the working of the Sisters of Charity’—Sunday Mail

‘‘Grippingly narrated’—Indian Express

‘‘A fascinating account of her life’—Sunday Express

‘‘I read this book through a blur of tears’—Anthony Blond in New Statesman & Society
