From the Publisher:
The author of "Hanna's Daughters" masterfully breathes new life into the figure of Mary Magdalene in this triumphal novel of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the woman who loved him most.Mary Magdalene's memories of Jesus are intentionally altered by the apostles and she tries to spread her undistorted teachings herself |
Annotation:
Swedish writer Marianne Fredriksson re-tells the story of Mary Magdalene, the beautiful blonde prostitute who was one of Jesus's closest friends (and his lover), as a feminist lesson about male patriarchy.

Times Literary Supplement
"Serious and worthy intentions are defeated, but readers with a particular type of interest in Christian origins will devour this novel for its assault on male religious authority." - Barbara Levick 12/01/2000
