Description
From the award-winning writer and director of The Women’s Jail Project and author of Dancing the Labyrinth, comes an evocative tale that unashamedly merges renowned historical characters and events in a spellbinding story of destiny.
“I should have assumed with parents known to the world as Mary Magdalene and Jesus Christ, I would be different.”
It is not her lineage that makes Sara different. It is her ability to time travel forward into other people’s bodies. Sara, whose Aramaic name means ‘bringer of happiness,’ travels into Sarah-Marie, a young Cathar from Montségur. Sara is determined to save her from the 13th Century siege.
The Bringer of Happiness is a compelling (almost) true tale comprised of history, myth, and imagination. Our histories are becoming unstuck. The patterns of power through religion are shifting, making way for new narratives. This book is part of this process.
Advance Praise
"Perhaps what’s most remarkable about this layered, ambitious, poetic novel is its clarity and coherence, as Martin finds dramatic means to explore religious and historical complexities and spiritual connections between women through the ages." BOOKLIFE
