This novel gives a perspective to a young Jesus. There were few references to how Jesus lived when he was a child; the gospels have a huge void in Jesus' life between the age of 8 to 33. Anne Rice tries to fill the void by telling a tale as close as possible to historical texts and references.
This book only covers a year of his age 7. It's very interesting how Rice paints a picture of the holy family and its extended members as well.
Rice gives a touching testimony on her faith journey while researching for this novel.
A good read for reflection.
