Love lessons from mystic powerhouse, Julian of Norwich

Dr Belle Tindall looks at the groundbreaking life of the first female English-language author

I have recently fallen head over heels in love with someone.

The thing is, that someone died in the 15th century. I also don’t know that someone’s actual name, nor much else about them, to be honest. And yet, I know enough to be bowled over, enough to still be talking about them centuries later. I know that they’re wise and weird, mysterious and medieval, spiritual and secretive.
