I will begin by saying that I'm glad Margery doesn't go to my church, but if she did, I would hope we would be able to welcome her.
The book is an incredible accomplishment, and Tony Triggs' translation is very smooth and effortless to read. It gives an incredible picture of England and Europe in Margery's time. You have to give her credit for her travel and her faithfulness in face of all the criticism she received. She manages to face her accusers with wit and forgiveness.
And yet I think she would be a challenge to be around with the weeping and yelling and collapsing. So congratulations, Margery on an incredible accomplishment, but I think I'll just stay over her out of your immediate area.
