   Ingen Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog.   ) SarahGriggs | Sep 11, 2018 |  v.1-2. How a slave girl from Judea, Hadassah, changes the lives of members of a Roman family living at the time of the Flavian emperors. The first two books in the trilogy I felt were superior. The Christian message was muted. The example of Hadassah's life spoke volumes to me, the reader, and to the family. The third volume carries on with the German ex-gladiator, Atretes, [a former lover of Julia--daughter of the Roman family], his search for his son, journey back to Germania and life with the villagers. The Christian message got to be a bit overwrought. I felt as though the third volume was weakest and was tacked onto the first two merely to give closure to the story of Atretes. The story did teeter on the edge of melodrama and emotionalism sometimes, but I felt for the characters and their struggles. I did get misty-eyed in several places. The author didn't get all of the tiny details absolutely correct, but the power of the story overwhelmed that criticism. Recommended, especially the first two volumes. The third volume is optional reading. Side note: it tickles me about Christian fiction set in the days of early Christianity how the characters quote the Bible centuries before the N.T. was officially codified [late 300s A.D.] (  ) janerawoof | Mar 27, 2015 |  ) MarieFriesen | Sep 29, 2010 | ) jamiehenderson07 | Jun 1, 2009 |  ) ElizabethWilliams | Sep 19, 2007 | ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
