Ever-Widening Circles or Road to Baba

This is a memoir that moves easily between the familiar and the unexpected. As the story develops, contemporary stereotypes are shaken and aspects of conventional thinking challenged. The questing reader will find here interest and food for thought.

In Part I, the author looks back on a young life full of change, adventure and activity, with hints of a persistent but unsatisfied inner search. In Part II, she visits India and forms a lasting relationship with Mouni Baba, a truly extraordinary human being and a spiritual Master, who was the chosen successor of Meher Baba and had taken a vow of lifelong silence at the age of 32. She returns to live and work in England, briefly trying her hand at politics, then joining a newly-formed British Equal Opportunities Commission where she finds work of absorbing interest. Baba has, however, become the center and focus of her life, which has taken on a new and fuller depth of meaning.
