A Vision of Light: A Margaret of Ashbury Novel
A Vision of Light: A Margaret of Ashbury Novel
Beautiful, twice-married Margaret was fated to be beaten and betrayed, taught rare arts of healing and love, and tried as a witch. But with courage and an open heart, she traversed a world overflowing with bitter sorrow and bawdy laughter to find a haven of love, safety, and triumphant joy in 14th-century England.
The first book in the series, this bestselling novel introduces Margaret of Ashbury, a fourteenth-century Englishwoman with mystical abilities Margaret of Ashbury wants to write her life story. However, like most women in fourteenth-century England, she is illiterate. Three clerics contemptuously decline to be Margaret's scribe, and only the threat of starvation persuades Brother Gregory, a Carthusian friar with a mysterious past, to take on the task. As she narrates her life, we discover a woman of startling resourcefulness. Married off at the age of fourteen to a merchant reputed to be the Devil himself, Margaret was left for dead during the Black Plague. Incredibly, she survived, was apprenticed to an herbalist, and became a midwife. But most astonishing of all, Margaret has experienced a Mystic Union--a Vision of Light that endows her with the miraculous gift of healing. Because of this ability, Margaret has become suddenly different--to her tradition-bound parents, to the bishop's court that tries her for heresy, and ultimately to the man who falls in love with her.
