Emily Maguire's tale of a medieval female pope is a triumph of imagination and historical fiction. Set in ninth-century Europe, Rapture recounts the story of a young woman and her rise (according to legend) to the papacy. Emily Maguire sits down with Lisa Markham to talk about the relationship between faith and desire and the importance of being recognised for one’s learning and achievements.
