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.
