Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. Well researched imaginary biography of Pontius Pilate's wife. Story very plausible until the latter part where the author goes completely off the rails at the marriage at Cana. This is an interesting story of a woman who is known by so few of the world today... antoinette may's portrayal of claudia, wife of pilate, is both believable and intriguing.. it is beautifully written and shows us that when someone is blessed with so much, much is expected of them.. it would have been nice to read about claudia doing more about her gift/ curse of second sight... maybe if she accepted her gift and acted on her dreams (premonitions) more, better things could have happened for everyone.. all in all a good read.. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Claudia has a privileged life. Niece of Rome¿s favoured warrior, she lives in luxury, surrounded by her family and tended by slaves. Gifted with second sight, her dreams tell her many things, from which gladiator will win in the Coliseum to the secret enemies who plot against the Emperor. When Claudia falls deeply in love with a charismatic soldier known as Pilate, she determines to win his heart, whatever the cost. Ignoring the warnings, she enchants Pilate and the pair are swiftly, blissfully, married. As wife to one of Rome¿s rising stars, Claudia is determined to shine. Wearing the finest Indian silks, bedecked in jewles, she is admired for her beauty, her lavish parties and her gift of the sight. Yet Claudia¿s dreams begin to trouble her, and the enchantment she used on Pilate comes with a price. Rome is built on powerful, treacherous alliances, and while Pilate¿s star continues to rise, shame and tragedy stalk Claudia¿s family. As a circle of betrayal and despair threatens to encompass her, Claudia realises her fate and future happiness is inextricably bound with a man who appears in her dreams, a man who wears a crown of thorns, a man she knows her husband must not condemn to death ¿ This wonderful, sweeping story brings to life Claudia, wife of Pontius Pilate, as never before. Alive with gorgeous detail, it gives an enthralling new perspective on one of the most well-known stories of all time. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
