Product Description

As a producer of religious programmes for the BBC, then a leading biographer of religious and spiritual figures, Shirley du Boulay has had a finger on the pulse of many of the movements of religion and spirituality over the last fifty years. From an encounter with The Beatles when they first met the Maharishi, to her excitement in the cauldron of spiritualities mainly coming from the East, her interest in interfaith and double belonging and her attempt to be a Roman Catholic, her insight into both personal and organised belief is matched by few. A Silent Melody is an honest and elegant exploration of our spiritual nature, written from a personal memoir.
