Sister Wendy made a great impression on me. I am so excited to finally share, in a small way, my experience of getting to know her all that time ago.”
NORWICH, UNITED KINGDOM, October 28, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Sister Wendy created the recording of Julian of Norwich's Revelations of Divine Love in 1993, but it was never released to the public. Twenty-eight years later has been finally been released as an audio CD. — Donna K. Triggs
Donna K. Triggs, the publisher who originally worked with Sister Wendy to create the master recording said: "When we finally got hold of the tape again there was a fear it might be suffering from 'Sticky Shed Syndrome'! Luckily my sound engineer was able to do an amazing job of restoring the old analogue tape and Sister Wendy's voice remains as clear and joyful as it was the day I first heard her read Julian's words".
Sister Wendy said at the time: "When I was at Oxford I studied Julian in the original and it made a great impression on me. My copy was a very small leather bound book and it had the lovely small of sandalwood that old books sometimes have. Julian is forever associated in my mind with sandalwood and I hope that a sandalwood small comes across in the recording.
