I am reviewing a copy of The Scribe through BooksGoSocial and Netgalley:



The Scribe is a rich, deep novel that that resurrects the life of Luke the Evangelist.




In the immediate aftermath,following the Crucifixion of Christ, a young widower and member of the Sanhedrin becomes disillusioned with the high priests and begins to adopt a Christian way of thinking. Forced to leave Jerusalem, he finds himself in a time that heralded the birth of the gospels.



The Scribe follows an array of characters both factual and fictional: Mary, the mother of Jesus, Jesus himself, the gospel writers, a mystical figure known as the Seer, and the Santos brothers, a seagoing pair from Hispania, among others.




The Scribe is set against a background of countries that made up the ancient world, and shines a beacon of light on a period of history that changed us all forever.




I give The Scribe five out of five stars!


Happy Reading!

The book had moments that captured my attention, but also some parts that were hard to read and felt unnecessary in the story. Some of the changes to different times were confusing not following the flow of the story
