Synopsis
The autobiography of Angela Culme-Seymour, grand-daughter of Trix Ruthven - a noted British High Society beauty who famously deserted her first and second husband and children and became known in those circles as 'The Bolter'. Angela Culme-Seymour's own life of privilege included various travels abroad, four husbands, many lovers and turbulent times between both easy wealth and her more usual precarious financial existence. She now lives in Scotland close to where her last husband taught and is buried.

A Life Lived To The Full, 29 July 2009
By Auguste "Auguste" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bolter's Grand-Daughter (Paperback)
I found these memoirs by Angela Culme-Seymour most interesting.
She writes in a very straightforward and honest way, she presents others and herself in a kind of naked style,
without embellishment or justification. She is from a gender, an era and a class quite different to my own yet
I found myself relating to her in an easy and intimate way.
My initial interest was to find out more about her last husband, a great Turkish spiritual teacher, called Bulent Rauf, who has played a very significant role in bringing the ideas of Ibn al-Arabi to The West.
Angela also has played a role in translating the work of Ibn Arabi into English as well as helping Bulent to set up an esoteric school called Beshara in Scotland.
This work of disseminating extremely valuable knowledge is continuing and Beshara as a group is alive and well.
Thanks to individuals of faith and vision like Bulent, Angela, Peter and Reshad; I am grateful.
This is a fascinating auto-biography, I highly recommend it!
