A mysterious woman dressed in white wakes up in a dark, unfamiliar place. Who is she and how did she get there? “Missus Jesus”—aka Margery Kempe, a real-life medieval Christian visionary—is the novel’s epicenter, driving its plot in unpredicted directions. The novel merges together literary fiction, historical writing and time-travel in thought-provoking, funny and heart-wrenching ways. Unorthodox links are created throughout Margery’s chaotic journey, fusing historical periods and far-away places, people and animals, as well as medieval and modern notions and perceptions. Twenty-first century Tel Aviv might be worlds apart from Soviet Russia or late medieval England, yet friendship, love and compassion always prevail.
