Summary

Barbara Erskine returns with this beautiful and haunting tale of dark forces and mystical powers

Cambridge, present day: Following the death of her mother, Abi Rutherford receives a mysterious bequest – a misshapen crystal sphere known as the Serpent’s Stone, which gives her glimpses into mysteries long concealed by the church.

Western England, 25 AD: A stranger has come to the chilly Somerset wetlands, with a story of hope and reconciliation. But he is being followed by powerful forces, determined that he will not undermine Roman rule in Britain.

Abi questions what connects these ancient events and her gift. Why do so many people seem desperate to hide the truth?

A dark shadow has fallen across the centuries, and a woman is in fear for her life. But is it danger that awaits her, or the final truth so long whispered across the echoes of time?

The story goes between modern day and the time of Jesus. It is easy to tell which era you are in and there aren’t any stilted jumps – it flows wonderfully. The narrator has a wonderful way of drawing you into the book and on several occasions I found myself standing totally still waiting tensely to see what was going to happen. She has a way of building tension that is rare and adds much to the book.

I must admit I found the narrator better than the story that has strong religious overtones. It adds an interesting slant on druidism and Christianity. But you have to ask yourself is it a step too far to create a story (even though fictitious) portraying Jesus coming to Glastonbury. And is it really believable that he although not converting readily accepted and study druid and pagan ways? I feel that some may have issues over this and the “in house” dealings of a sexist and stalker priest.

Interesting joining of Druids and Christians

Barbara Erskine has done it again! One more she sweeps her reader up in the story. I love the way she goes from historical to contemporary time, it's so believable. The age old story of 'did Jesus come to England?' is brought up again. Fabulous!

What a re-imagining, and done with such sympathy for all groups represented. I’m currently pestering my mum to read it, so I can discuss it with her.

What an amazing Book
