The story is set just after Jesus was crucified and rose again. It involves Leah, a relative of Pilate's, whose family has fallen into disgrace, so she works for Pilate's wife, Procula. Leah's grandmother was Jewish, but Leah was raised as a Roman and only remembers some of the stories her grandmother told her of her faith and way of life. Alban, a centurion of Pilate's, wants to marry Leah so he can rise in Pilate's estimation because he knows that she is a relative of Pilate's. Meanwhile, Procula has been having awful headaches and just knows it has something to do with what happened to Jesus. Pilate is eager to discover what happened to Jesus - and he tasks Alban with this discovery. There are many people who want to convince Alban that the disciples stole Jesus' body - and some of the disciples are included in the action of the story. So are some of the women mentioned in the Bible - Mary Magdalene, in particular. Alban wants to uncover the truth. Leah meets Mary and is given an introduction to the heritage she shares with her grandmother. It was a good story that included a lot of internal struggle for both main characters, but the scenes written for Alban dragged and dragged. Also, his sudden desire to be a good husband to Leah (after it was made clear in the beginning that this marriage was only a career move) was never really explained. It happened before he really dealt with much internal struggle over what he believed, so it didn't really make sense.
I'm glad I finished it - it had a satisfying ending - but it was a clunky read at times - too many times, thus the 3 star rating.… (altro)
