Mary tells the story of the mother of Jesus of Nazareth. This novel was a very inspirational read about how Mary said yes to God even though there were dangers that came with it. Therefore, Mary is a very strong woman and a devoted servant to God! This novel is an excellent Christmas story! I recommend this for fans of Angela Hunt, Mesu Andrews, and Jill Eileen Smith!

I loved that this was a historical novel about Mary, Mother of Jesus. The was a beautifully done story and I really enjoyed going through this book.

I really liked this perspective of Mary - a lot of novels don't really talk about her journey and I liked how the author gave the events from her point of view! The writing is well done and I thought the story flowed nicely

I started this book but couldn't complete past a few chapters as they seemed very repetitive. I didn't realise the book was going to be so Mariological and conflicted with my own beliefs. I did like the idea of trying to bring the story of Jesus to life with characters who were 'normal' but found the writing style mediocre and unvaried.

Sadly I decided not to finish reading this book. I usually enjoy fictional stories about people in the Bible, but I felt that the author used too much licence and veered too far from Biblical accounts that i found it upsetting to read. I would not recommend this book to others.

This was the ideal book to read over the Easter weekend. A fascinating theme, what did the family and friends do after the crucifixion? The story is centred around Jesus’ mother Mary. I would recommend it.
