"A splendid novel on all counts." --Colleen McCullough, The New York Times Book Review "A robust mix of prodigious scholarship and engaging plot." --Chicago Tribune "Barnhardt's erudition is astonishing, yet it's totally accessible. If you loved Byatt's Possession, Palliser's Quincunx, or Eco's Name of the Rose, then here is the big, addictive epic you've been waiting for." --Diane Wakoski "Barnhardt is a real find....An entertainer of the first order." --Alan Cheuse, National Public Radio "Barnhardt has got such great imagination and wit, and erudition enough to re-create the gospel itself in these pages, that this is the kind of book...you want to linger with and relish." --Alan Cheuse, national Public Radio
