But it’s a platonic connection: their obsessive dreams of love always centre on men. Indeed, the most enduring love affair in the story is between the two women.

The passing of time had allowed her to understand more fully the meaning of the visions. At last, about 20 years later, she expanded her original account into the Long Text, including incidents and parables that were part of her original visions. Over many more years, Julian continued to ponder the meaning of the revelations. The Short Text was probably written not long after the revelations themselves. She wrote two different versions of Revelations of Divine Love, referred to by scholars as the Short Text and the Long Text.

In May 1373, while seriously ill and at the point of death, she received a series of revelations, or “showings,” of the Passion of Christ and of the Virgin Mary-revelations which Julian believed to come directly from God and to be intended for all Christians. She was probably a laywoman living in the city of Norwich, a major cultural and religious center in late medieval England. Few details are known about the author's life.

Komireddi compels the reader to unambiguously confront India’s past with all its bigotry - of caste, religion and ethnicity - just as Daniel Immerwahr does in Komireddi does that job magnificently in his book.
