Description Mary, Called Magdalene by Margaret George 3.85 of 5 stars 3.85 rating details 6,443 ratings 466 reviews 23 The New York Times-bestselling author of Elizabeth I brilliantly reimagines the story of the most mysterious woman in the Bible Was Mary Magdalene a prostitute, a female divinity figure, a church leader, or all of those? Biblical references to her are tantalizingly brief, but we do know that she was the first person to whom the risen Christ appeared—and the one commissioned to tell others the good news, earning her the ancient honorific, 'Apostle to the Apostles.' Today, Mary continues to spark controversy, curiosity, and veneration. In a vivid re-creation of Mary Magdalene's life story, Margaret George convincingly captures this renowned woman's voice as she moves from girlhood to womanhood, becomes part of the circle of disciples, and comes to grips with the divine. Grounded in biblical scholarship and secular research, this fascinating historical novel is also, ultimately, 'the diary of a soul.' Through all this Margaret continued to write, albeit slowly and always on only one project at a time.

She sought the guidance of a Tudor historian at Washington University for a reading list, and proceeded from there. Procol Harum Torrent Pirate Ba more.
It was actually fourteen years between her initial idea and the publication of The Autobiography of Henry VIII. The book made an impression for several reasons: first, because no one had ever written a novel sympathetic to the king before- second, because it covered his entire life from before birth until after his death, making it almost a thousand pages long, and third, because it was so fact-filled.
