About this listen

This is the fascinating and controversial autobiography of Annie Besant, who lived an extraordinary life where she played an outsized part in the history of India. She is most famous for her leadership of theosophy and her promotion of Krishnamurti as a world savior, but it is often forgotten that she was an early champion for women's rights, self-determination for India (she backed Gandhi's movement early on), and for Irish independence from British interference.

Dreadful narration

The narrator sounds like a tic toc robot. This is awful to my ears. Very disappointed.

Decent book let down by some poor editing

A very insightful book into Besant's life before she came to Theosophy, but perhaps a bit dull in places. And while the narrator does a good job there are just so many editing mistakes throughout, where "bad takes" of lines are still present. That said, it's still worth your time if the subject interests you.

Eye opening

Heard many things about this lady but listening to her own words is so much better.
