I am reviewing a copy of The Scribe through BooksGoSocial and Netgalley:
The Scribe is a rich, deep novel that that resurrects the life of Luke the Evangelist.
In the immediate aftermath,following the Crucifixion of Christ, a young widower and member of the Sanhedrin becomes disillusioned with the high priests and begins to adopt a Christian way of thinking. Forced to leave Jerusalem, he finds himself in a time that heralded the birth of the gospels.
The Scribe follows an array of characters both factual and fictional: Mary, the mother of Jesus, Jesus himself, the gospel writers, a mystical figure known as the Seer, and the Santos brothers, a seagoing pair from Hispania, among others.
The Scribe is set against a background of countries that made up the ancient world, and shines a beacon of light on a period of history that changed us all forever.
I give The Scribe five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
