of the small friary. Her desires as a woman are put in conflict with
her faith. Then, a crisis for Julia (stemming from her visions) forces
the Bishop to step in and defend her, but also confirming his love
for her.
Julia is a woman of her times, caught up in the violent events of in-clan
fighting and the northern Irish skirmishes against Queen Elizabeth I’s
troops during their fight for freedom against English rule. While living a
simple life as a nun she still can't avoid the political conflict, sexism, and
dilemmas any woman would face at that time and place in history.
The Bonnamargy Friary (present-day spelling) stands today on the
road to Cushendall. Julia’s round-stone grave is at the entrance to
the ruins of the friary. She wished it to be there so those who entered
the church would trample upon her simple grave.weniger sehen
