A hauntingly beautiful novel, bringing to life one of history's most mysterious characters, Mary of Nazareth, as a beautiful, complicated, utterly believable girl in love. - In a bestselling tradition: Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist, Anita Diamant's The Red Tent, Francois Mauriac's A Kiss for the Leper, and Orson Scott Card's Sarah all present biblical themes through the sensibilities of today. Girl Mary will similarly captivate readers of all faiths and backgrounds. - A great character: For centuries, Mary has been the Virgin--but isn't she also the ultimate female, whose life and passion have never been told? Girl Mary introduces us to the human girl who beguiled even God with her simplicity. So what exactly is Girl Mary? Answers the author: it's a love story of biblical proportions. - Great storytelling: Petru Popescu recounts this epic through the eyes of famous characters. Pontius Pilate, already Rome's agent in Judea at the time, meets Mary and falls under her spell. Years before the massacre of the innocents, King Herod senses that Mary signals the end of his reign. Other heroes of the scriptures appear in Girl Mary at their very debut in history. Described with surreal accuracy, Judea and Rome become the birthplace of Christianity.
