The title is a big one to live up to, but Kathleen McGowen manages to do so and then surpass even a reader's expectations. She brings all of her characters to life, without a single crack in their facade. I was mesmerized through the entire story, and hated to have to put the book down until it was completed.
Each event and character is so vividly etched into the reader's mind that when the book is done, part of your mind questions whether you just read a novel...or something so much more. This isn't the first time that Mary Magdalene has been speculated to have been the wife of Jesus, nor will it be the last, but I doubt that many authors will create such a vivid picture as Ms. McGowen has.
On the plot, Ms. McGowen has also managed to carry her mystery through the entire thread of the book, leaving the reader in intense suspense, until the end when everything comes to a climax, and I never would have guessed any of the secrets.
Overall, this is one of the best novels I have read in a very long time, and I totally recommend it to one and all, irregardelss of religious background or lack thereof. Its a great story.Buy The Book of Love (The Magdalene Line)!
