Book Review: The Woman from Lydia

 



The Woman from Lydia

Christian| General Fiction \(Adult\)| Historical Fiction



Using Bethany House and Netgalley, I am reviewing The Woman from Lydia:



Euodia, the widowed Lydian woman, seeks a fresh start by moving to Philippi, a foreign city. After meeting Paulos, apostle to the Gentiles, she finds new meaning in helping those in need, especially women and enslaved people.




Former Roman soldier Hector has settled in Philippi with dreams of wealth and status, pooling his army earnings with Lucius, his fellow comrade-in-arms turned business partner. The enslaved girl's lucrative ability to foretell the future is stripped from her by Paulos, making her worthless to Hector.


His determination to find someone who can restore the girl's valuable "gift" drives him to travel to the ends of the earth to do so. Euodia and her servants follow close behind him on a journey to rescue Sabina and free her.



I give The Woman of Lydia five out of five stars!



Happy Reading!
