"SIN SPINS A FALSE STORY. LOVE IS THE TRUE STORY."

In a world where sin and punishment govern their lives, two remarkable women discover different ways of living their faith. Interpreting the Bible is a dangerous thing to do — especially for a woman — but Margery and Julian find silence harder still. Filled with her conviction that God is love, not a voice of punishment, Julian shows Margery how to lift the weight of guilt from off her shoulders. In return, Margery reminds Julian what it is to have an earthly existence.

The first autobiography in the English language was written by mother of fourteen, Margery Kempe, who couldn’t read. Dame Julian, the renowned anchoress of Norwich, penned writings on mysticism and mercy that have dazzled spiritualists for centuries. Marge & Jules resurrects the historic moment where — as writings record — Margery met Julian. As spiritual enlightenment meets the darker stories of life in the Middle Ages, these women confess all; talking faith, life, after-life, semantics, erotics and the mysteries of the Man they love.
