About This Book
S.P. Somtow doesn't write like anyone else" — Dean R. Koontz
Virgin. Mother. Goddess. Miriam of Nazareth was all three. S.P. Somtow's deconstructive retelling of the life of the most famous woman in history is set in a richly pagan world, where hellenism coexisted with monotheism, where Roman-occupied Judaea was not all sand and zealots but a richly-layered territory of a polyglot, multiethnic world. It's a world where women still practice their ancient mysteries alongside the rigidly structured society of patriarchs.
Perhaps controversial, "Miriam" lay in a drawer for two decades despite its author's success in fields such as science fiction, horror and fantasy. It's now being released one episode at a time.
"Annunciation" is the first part of an epic novel in serial form.
