Mary, mother of Jesus, is in her old age and does not believe her son was the son of God. She refuses to co-operate with the gospel writers who visit her frequently.
❖ “This book could have gone a number a ways and to be honest I wasn’t desperate to read it, but actually Mary’s complexity was revealed with a kind of cutting humour that opened the story up to many interpretations. I liked this more than I thought I would.” – Rachel
