I truly enjoyed this incredible story of Margery Kempe, an English woman of the 1400s caught up in the religious fervor and devotion of that time. Her family had enough wealth for her take this trip, although it seems surprising that a female from this Medieval Period had sufficient freedom to make such an arduous pilgrimage without male family members. If you are interested in Medieval history this books provides many insights into the lives of the common people and their travels to the holy land.
