Having completed the two cycles of legend to which she has devoted her career so far, Anne Rice gives us now her most ambitious and courageous book, a novel about the early years of CHRIST THE LORD, based on the Gospels and on the most respected New Testament scholarship.

The book’s power derives from the passion its author brings to the writing and the way in which she summons up the voice, the presence, the words of Jesus who tells the story.

    I am not a Christian but I am always fascinated by the life and miracles of Jesus Christ. Anne Rice put herself in the shoes of Jesus and gave a narrative of Jesus as a seven-year old child who was still struggling with his true destiny. Very detailed and believable. It should capture the imagination of Christians and pagans alike.
