«A l'ombre de Claire» is the autobiographical testimony of Marie Rousseau, published by Grasset & Fasquelle in paperback (222 pages, in French).
Marie Rousseau spent two years as a Poor Clare in an order founded by Saint Clare and Saint Francis of Assisi. She embraced poverty, prayer, and obedience, but also found shadows: a ban on studying theology, mortifications, and hypocrisy. After struggling, she returned to secular life and recounts it with restraint, seeking to understand rather than judge.
The Grasset & Fasquelle edition published in December 1985 includes bibliographic references.
For those who want to learn about monastic life and the experience of the Poor Clares from within.
