A Carthusian Miscellany

What is Carthusian life really like? What actually goes on in the Charterhouse? Is the Order's ancient mixture of carefully regulated solitary and community life a hopeless harking back to the Middle Ages, or is it relevant to modern lifestyles and problems? If any book can answer these questions, it is The Wound of Love, which provides background information on the Carthusian Order, including letters from St Bruno, its founder, and a reflection on Bruno's continuing significance today.

The many concerns of Carthusian life are evident here; solitude, fraternal love, prayer, monastic vows, work and liturgy, and each is tackled with great honesty, wit and wisdom.
