A Journey to Be Enjoyed....
'Mary, Called Magdalene' is not just a read, it is a journey back in time. It was very easy for me to slip into Ms. George's evocation of Mary's world and I felt very much as if I were looking over her shoulder through most of the book. It does what all good historical fiction should, it pulls you in and will not let you go easily.I found Ms. George's take on Mary's possession/madness very intriguing and plausible and one of the more telling threads of the book. Recommended highly to anyone who has read 'The Red Tent' or Orson Scott Card's 'Women of Genesis' series, 'Mary, Called Magdalene' takes the biblical fiction genre up quite a few notches.
