This historical novel takes place in Europe during the Dark Ages. It is the story of a young girl's struggle for an education through her older brother and circumstances following his death. The plot is fast-paced, educational, and filled with adventure and difficult situations. Disguising herself as a man, this girl rises to become Pope and rule Christianity.
To this day, there is controversy as th whether this scenario is factual or mythical. Be sure to read the Author's note...Protestants and Martin Luther are mentioned in the case against the existence of such a woman. This book is an excellent read for men and women. Reviewed by Mary Ann Taylor
I can't wait to read this book that even considers the possiblity of a woman in the Pope's chair. It will not be out until June but you can pre-order. Or wait for the one in the CVL! Shirley
ReplyDeleteDid you know that this is a re-issue of a book that came out in the '90's? You can find a perfectly good copy on e-by much cheaper than buying the new version. Either way it is an interesting concept.
