A brilliant exploration of what the Francis of Assisi might have lived and experienced, his goals and his career, where insight and even intuition are put through the crucible of the most rigorous research and scholarship. Yet the saint's innate poetry is also present, so that drynees, of either the spiritual or intellectual variety, is never an issue.
Between the lines, the whole journey in the bare footsteps of the Poverello is an object lesson in chosen families: "frères" indeed. I think the author is asking us, could Francis have been what he became he he not found his "Round Table" of the first friends who became his brothers, those who felt called to follow him in his journey, physical and mystical.
