Faith and Fear, Repression and Resilience in Medieval Norwich
Polarized political groups vie for power. Religious leaders push for harshly intolerant rules. Lies and "cancellation" hound those who don't fit in. A small minority suffering from inherited trauma are especially targeted. A charismatic outsider spreads conspiracy theories. A wise woman with influence but no power fights to do damage control behind the scenes.
Welcome to Norwich, England, 1413, and an old/new story of the struggle for faith in a complex, flawed world, the triumph of love over dogma, and the resilience of oppressed minorities in the face of abusive power.
Two rival factions struggle for control of a prosperous English city. The kingdom's bishops are bent on stamping out religious dissent. Those who stand out from the mainstream risk malicious gossip, hostility, and possible denunciation. A small group of townspeople are most vulnerable of all: the descendants of Jews who, generations earlier, chose conversion--or pretended conversion--over banishment from England.
An elderly mystic, Julian of Norwich, is drawn into this turmoil, despite her withdrawal from the world. Complicating it all, Margery Kempe--an outlandish, theatrical woman from a provincial town--begins stirring up a storm of suspicion. When these two women first meet, Julian struggles simply to understand Margery. But soon enough, she's desperate to contain the damage Margery has unwittingly done--all from within the cell to which Julian long ago vowed herself.
The Ram in the Thicket is a vivid and engrossing tale of power, religion, and resilience amidst societal and religious upheaval.
