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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs 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.","brand":"Crown Publishing Group (NY)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48833741816013,"sku":"9780307237873","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_fa03b3de-bd85-44cd-86a2-ef660b13f95a.jpg?v=1790897533","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/a-vision-of-light","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
