The Story of a Soul (l'Histoire d'une Âme) is the autobiography of Thérèse of Lisieux. It was first published on September 30, 1898, a year to the day after her death from tuberculosis at the age of 24, on September 30, 1897. The book was a single volume formed from three distinct manuscripts - manuscripts of different length, written at different times, addressed to different people, and differing from one another in character. The work of unifying these disparate manuscripts was carried out by Pauline, the sister of Thérèse. It was initially published with a limited audience in mind, the Carmelite convents and certain religious personalities, and just 2000 copies of the 475-page book were printed. It quickly became a publishing phenomenon, however, and Sister Thérèse of the Child Jesus was canonised in 1925. St. Dismas Catholic Classic editions are all new translations.

Great content, but the voice is annoying. The reader stretches out the last word of every paragraph, but speeding up the audio a little helps some. Otherwise, its a great way to enjoy a great work, but you might want to listen to a sample before buying.

Wonderful book

I have a hard time putting into words how I felt while listening to the story of ”The Little Flower”. At times the story will bring the listener to tears and it is hard to continue. It is very hard to not know that God does exist when presented with the words written by “The Little Flower”. I know that God loves me and it is evident that she loved him with every fiber of her being.

A beautiful story of a beautiful soul

I was hungering for something to listen to while working this lent instead of my regular romance novel.

Thank God for helping me to say yes to the promptings of the Holy Spirit to try a Catholic religious book. I absolutely loved listening to this book. I had been afraid that I will be bored while listening to it but far from it. The narrator was really good and her tone is so calming/soothing. I'll have to listen to it again in order to better internalize the many wonderful insights found in it. Thank God for the blessing of His many Saint's examples for us.

l definitely recommend this to everyone.

Blessings!!

Absolutely loved. Will be reading this again.

This is a very good product and it is easy to listen to while driving or walking. I think it is ideal for listening to it rather than reading her autobiography. It might be good to listen to it over after reading it first. It is very good overall and it is narrated very well.

The Story of a Soul - A great listen.

I've wanted to read this book for quite a while so when I saw it on Audible I jumped at it. St. Therese was duch an amazing human. I thoroughly enjoyed the story, but I really wish the reader read the book as if she were St. Therese. Some emotion & a less robotic voice would have been most desirable.

What a story!

Bought this in a rush but felt let down by the narration. Ended up buying the other narration of same book! Fantastic story of a beautiful and wonderful Saint! Narration could be better :)

The story is wonderful but narration could’ve been better

There's nothing wrong with the sound of the narrator's voice, but the cadence and intonation is totally devoid of emotion to the point that it made me wonder if it has been electronically contrived. I'm sorry to write a bad review to such an amazing and lovely book.

I couldn't get over the narrator's voice

What disappointed you about The Story of a Soul: The Autobiography of St. Therese of Lisieux?

The story is a classic--obviously. However, this performance was so bad that I couldn't bear more than 5 minutes. I returned it. She drew out words to more syllables than you could believe (God became Gah-ah-ad). Strangely robotic.

Sounds like a robot with a drawl is reading

The narration is so bad it sounds like a robot narrating, so bad!

It is a great book but bad choice in narrator.

I want to return this book
