This rather wonderful fictional autobiography was published to coincide with the 650th anniversary of Julian first experiencing, in May 1373, the series of 16 visions she wrote about in Revelations of Divine Love.Written with profound insight, spiritual and psychological, and a rare sensitivity to the everyday world of the fourteenth century, it is a brilliantly illuminating companion to one of the greatest works of spiritual writing in English.

Yet first through her visions, then through her later years of contemplation she gains a deep and abiding sense of God's love.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Julian's voice rings out true on every page and a deep understanding of her world and her work underpins each line.
