Miriam: Memoirs of a Goddess: Annunciation

"Miriam" by S.P. Somtow is a deconstructive retelling of the life of Mary of Nazareth, set in a richly layered, ancient world where pagan traditions and monotheism coexist amidst a diverse Roman-occupied Judaea. Blending historical and mythological elements, the novel explores a complex society where women maintain their ancient practices alongside a patriarchal structure. This controversial work, long kept from publication, is now being released as a serialized epic, beginning with the first installment, "Annunciation."
