Jukka Hankamaki: Rakkauden välittäjä (Simone Weil - The Mediator of Love). One can buy this softcover at the airport in Helsinki for 10 Euros. I hope more low cost paperback philosophy books will soon be available. This book, actually Hankamaki's doctoral thesis with minor edits, covers almost everything about Weil. Maybe a bit more could have been mentioned about her brother in the biography section, just suddenly mentioning that Andre Weil is a famous mathematician was a bit odd.
Weil of course is a captivating figure, famous for her uncompromising ethos. Hankamaki's narration is quite good, too.
