This is one of the weirdest books I've ever read. It seems to be two or three books sewn together, from the initial self-mutilating very medieval monasticism to the quasi-romance adventure to the spiritual wisdom ending (kind of tedious), a poor man's "Saint John of the Cross." A good glimpse into the world in which it was composed.
