Pope Joan by Donna Wookfolk Cross
Historical drama...with all the elements of love, sex, violence, duplicity, and long buried secrets
"For a thousand years men have denied her existence--Pope Joan, the woman who disguised herself as a man and rose to rule Christianity for two years...when her older brother dies in a Viking attack, the brilliant young Joan assumes his identity and enters a Benedictine monastery where, as Brother John Anglicus, she distinguishes herself as a scholar and healer. Eventually drawn to Rome, she soon becomes enmeshed in a dangerous mix of powerful passion & explosive politics that threatens her life even as it elevates her to the highest throne in the Western world."
Vicki, Wendy, Erin & Amy B all have copies. I will be getting another copy tomorrow that will be available, and then I'm re-reading a copy & will be done soon as well! Hope you all enjoy!
