Buy the book from:
Miriam, the daughter of a Jewish father and Christian mother, is raised among an early Christian community and drawn into a love that crosses religious and political divisions. Her life is overtaken by revolt against Rome, enslavement and the siege that brings Jerusalem to destruction.
The novel follows the First Jewish–Roman War from provincial unrest to the catastrophe of 70 CE. Roman military power, Jewish factionalism and the precarious position of early Christians turn Miriam’s personal choices into a story about survival amid religious and imperial conflict.
