Description
Revelations by Mary Sharratt In 1413, at the age of forty, Margery Kempe's life is forever changed after nearly dying in childbirth. Desperate for guidance, she seeks out Dame Julian of Norwich, a renowned anchoress who has written a radical book about her own visions, Revelations of Divine Love. Julian entrusts her precious book to Margery, setting off a journey that will take her across Europe and the Near East as she secretly spreads Julian's words. As Margery navigates the full bustle of worldly existence, she discovers her unique spiritual path and vocation, one that is not confined to a cloistered cell. This vivid and compelling novel brings the medieval past to life, exploring themes of faith, spirituality, and the power of women's voices in shaping history.
