A hauntingly beautiful novel, bringing to life one of history's
most mysterious characters, Mary of Nazareth, as a beautiful,
complicated, utterly believable girl in love.
- In a bestselling tradition: Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist, Anita
Diamant's The Red Tent, Francois Mauriac's A Kiss for the Leper,
and Orson Scott Card's Sarah all present biblical themes through
the sensibilities of today. Girl Mary will similarly captivate
readers of all faiths and backgrounds.
- A great character: For centuries, Mary has been the Virgin--but
isn't she also the ultimate female, whose life and passion have
never been told? Girl Mary introduces us to the human girl who
beguiled even God with her simplicity. So what exactly is Girl
Mary? Answers the author: it's a love story of biblical
proportions.
- Great storytelling: Petru Popescu recounts this epic through the
eyes of famous characters. Pontius Pilate, already Rome's agent in
Judea at the time, meets Mary and falls under her spell. Years
before the massacre of the innocents, King Herod senses that Mary
signals the end of his reign. Other heroes of the scriptures appear
in Girl Mary at their very debut in history. Described with surreal
accuracy, Judea and Rome become the birthplace of Christianity.
When sixteen-year-old Lily Willison and her friends Nikki, Arielle,
and Grazia start up a girls' soccer club and name their team the
Weregirls, they soon find themselves drawn into a battle between
good and evil. Lily's father, a supernatural guardian, makes
contact with Lily after his death and reveals that she has magical
powers--as do her friends.
As the girls learn more about their powers, they inadvertently
awaken the Breed, sworn enemies of the Weregirls. To fight the
Weregirls, the Breed Master calls upon Lily's soccer rival--the
rich, conceited, and arrogant Andra Hewlit. Desperate for powers of
her own, Andra will do anything she can to destroy Lily and the
Weregirls ."
