Read this slowly over Lent, and really appreciated it. Julian was such a powerful writer, and you can tell how much thought she put into the meaning of her visions. There's quite a lot of graphic Passion details, which I usually don't like, but her descriptions are so grounded and compassionate that it takes the edge off. I really empathised with her spiritual turmoil, and loved how she combined down-to-earth practicality with spiritual yearning. There's a comprehensive introduction and endnotes, which helped a lot with understanding the context of what Julian was saying (citing scripture quotes back, explaining the politics of the time, and why she was so clear about some points that didn't seem related to her visions: not wanting to be executed as a heretic is very motivating, apparently.)

That said, the theology is very dense, and I think I would benefit from both rereading it, possibly multiple times, and reading some interpretations.
