The Annunciationist follows an American painter consumed by his obsession with depictions of the Annunciation--the moment the Archangel Gabriel tells the Virgin she will bear a child. To him, the mystery lies not only in the divine message but in the forbidden intimacy between messenger and maiden.
Haunted by this paradox, Martin travels through Europe seeking to understand the power of that encounter--and himself. His fascination draws him into the lives of those he meets along the way, each encounter shaping the art he creates and the boundaries he tests.
Set against luminous backdrops from Santorini to Assisi, this novel explores art, desire, and the uneasy meeting point between the sacred and the human.
