One Man's Candle
Description:... Tensions are rife in medieval Norwich and, when tragedy strikes, a young Jew, Deulecresse, is orphaned and thrown homeless, into a hostile world. Exiled from his home and his family's riches, Deulecresse can only find solace in Margaret, a English girl with a troubled home life. Together, the two escape and decide to take to the road to find a new and better life. They soon find, though, that it is a dangerous world out there and the past will always cast a painful shadow. If they want to survive, they must grow up fast but that is easier said than done for a pair with such deep mental wounds. Their hearts slowly entwine into romance but the running has to stop and they must soon face up to their enemies if they want to have any kind of future. In one of the most forgotten episodes of anti-Semitism in history, One Man's Candle follows the human story that comes with a marginalised and victimised people.
