The Sisters of Corinth

 

When the new provincial governor arrives in Corinth, the esteemed Chief Magistrate Narkis Ligus, father to Mariana and Prima, is delighted. He sees a golden opportunity to propel himself to greater power and fortune by uniting his and the governor's households through the marriage of one of his beautiful unwed daughters to the governor's firstborn son.

Yet complications quickly arise in Narkis's own family. Mariana, his stepdaughter, holds steadfast faith in Yeshua, rendering her hesitant to marry a man devoted to the Roman gods, despite Narkis's urging. On the other hand, Prima, his daughter by birth, yearns for a life of wealth and status and is willing to go to great lengths to secure a marriage that fulfills her desires--even if it means betraying Mariana to do so.

My thoughts: I love the attention to detail that Angela Hunt provides with her historical fiction, especially those set in Biblical times. I loved getting to know Mariana and Prima and the turbulent time they live in. This story brings to life what it might have been like to live in the New Testament days. I look forward to reading the next book in the series!

I received this book from Bethany House. This is my honest review.
