| Synopsis: |
Huguette Roy is a bedridden, pregnant woman living in early modern Franche-Comte when a mysterious apparition arrives at her bedside in 1628. Not only afflicted by her physical ailments but also a deathly fear of demonic influences, Huguette is faced with weeks of daily appearances from the ethereal chambermaid visible solely to her eyes. Surrounded by a barrage of non-believers and questioning religious orders, Huguette must conquer her own uncertainty and help the mystical being achieve her fate. Set during a time when visionaries were forcefully prosecuted, the account was stored away in a small, French library. Now translators Edwards and Sutch introduce this primary source and place it in its historical, geographical, political, and religious contexts. |
