In the Company of Women

Fiction

“This Jesus story brims with the perfume, customs, color, and tastes of first-century Palestine; it is peopled by Mary of Magdala, Susana, and divorced Joanna, a midwife who had no children. The action is sifted through her keen femininity, as it savors the sentiments of the individuals who once were lost and now find themselves. It promises a sublime reading of the Gospels through the experiences of the women.”
