"The year is 1413, a time of plague and war. A time when women do not read and certainly do not write. A time when claiming direct communication with God will see you burnt alive. In the city of Norwich, two women meet for the first time. Margery has left her fourteen children and husband behind to make her journey. Her visions of Christ have alienated her from her family and neighbours, and incurred her husband's abuse--and she has come to Norwich in desperation. Julian, an anchoress, has not left Norwich, nor the cell to which she has been confined, for twenty-three years. She has told no one of her visions, and knows that time is running out for her to do so. Their meeting will risk everything. And when they part ways, Julian will entrust Margery with a great secret that could destroy them both."--Jacket flap |
