“A GOOD READ WELL WORTH THE TIME IT TAKES. It is a book filled with digressions, spreading over an ocean of time, of ideas, and of human prejudices. There is a bit of sex, a touch of science, a smattering of philosophy, a stench of political intrigue. It repays each and every intellectual stretch that it demands.”

—Toledo Blade

“INDEED A WHODUNIT, but be prepared to turn pages in both directions. It demands a strenuous exercise of the imagination, and a reader who is in shape for this will linger over the vibrant textures of daily life in the 14th century, over the evocation of dramatic heresies and schisms, that sundered the medieval Christian community. Some will delight in catching allusions to modern personalities, among them John Paul II, Stalin and Che Guevera.”

—San Antonio Light
