Simone Weil was a French philosopher, activist, teacher, factory and agricultural worker who died in Ashford, Kent in 1943 at the age of 34. Her story is tragic in many ways, not least because she resisted baptism even though she had become convinced of the claims of Christ on her life. She was in some ways like a youthful Augustine (before he became St Augustine of Hippo): passionately searching for the truth, she passed through many different philosophies as the great angler slowly reeled her in.
