![]() “A Vision of Light” is the first of a trilogy and I am looking forward to the next two. While it is true there really isn’t a traditional “ending,” for readers who want to know more about her story, it is an appropriate stopping point on a long journey. Some have mentioned that they hated the ending. It ends as the next big chapter in her life begins. ![]() The book begins when she is a child and follows her through a horrific marriage, a Vision and Gift from God, her life and training as a midwife, her brush with a charge of heresy in front of a church tribunal, and a loving second marriage. This look at the lives of people in the Middle Ages, and the power of the Catholic church, was fascinating. I have rarely read a book with such a strong female character. I am so glad I gave it a chance! I was enthralled with Margaret, her life, the times, her friends and enemies. Although I love British history, I’ve never been all that interested in Medieval times. ![]() ![]() I decided to give it a try based on its reviews. I wasn’t sure I would like “A Vision of Light, A Margaret of Ashbury Novel” the first book in a trilogy about Margaret of Ashbury by Judith Merkle Riley. ![]()
