Miram: Memoirs of a Goddess: Annunciation

S.P. Somtow doesnt write like anyone else - Dean R. KoontzVirgin. Mother. Goddess. Miriam of Nazareth was all three. S.P. Somtows 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. Its 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 authors success in fields such as science fiction horror and fantasy. Its now being released one episode at a time.Annunciation is the first part of an epic novel in serial form.
