Summary
Christine Carpenter is a 14th century visionary girl in England, who attracts the village priest and an officer. The priest urges her to become an Anchoress (a virgin walled up in the church) and she accepts, attracting pilgrims seeking her advice and healing power. When her awakening sexuality calls into question this lifelong arrangement, she challenges the priest's authority. The order of society, including its government, religion and sexual relations, are thrown into turmoil.
