The book has 2 main parts. The first , told in alternating short sections, is the first-person story of their lives - childhood, marriage, motherhood, their religious visions, actions and reactions. Three interconnected things really stood out to me - the differences in their class background, their differing personalities, and the contrasting reactions to their religious visions. The 2nd part is the record of the meeting between the two. A lot of it is written as a transcript of their conversation. I’m not sure how I would have felt reading it but on audio with two distinct narrators, it worked well.
