'I was completely hooked and considerably moved by the life and thoughts of this exceptional woman' - JEREMY IRONS 'It is as if we have finally found the lost autobiography of one of the medieval world's most important women.' - JANINA RAMIREZ 'A beautiful, intensely moving achievement' - A.N. WILSON In 1347, the first pestilence rages across the land. The young Julian of Norwich encounters the strangeness of death: first her father, then later her husband and her child.

Helped by Thomas, a Benedictine monk from Norwich Cathedral, she writers of what she has seen and offers word of counsel to others. Julian's manuscripts are protected by trusted sisters and are passed from hand to hand, become the first book to be written by a woman in English.
