The premise of this novel was very interesting, basing it on the 'fasting girls'. This is the first book I've read by the author, as I have zero interest in ever reading 'Room'. It was nicely paces, and an easy read. I read it in less than 24 hours. Roman Catholicism was portrayed... interestingly. I felt like the main character ragged on it a little too much. But, that's a personal thing.

This is, essentially, as straight re-telling of the Easter story, as seen through the eyes of a Roman centurion (Joseph Fiennes) who was present at the crucifixion of Christ and then put in charge of finding his body when it disappears from the tomb, initially believing that body to have been stolen by the disciples but then coming to believe otherwise and joining the disciples in Galilee before going his own way.
