This was a truly fascinating novel, based on the real legend of Pope Joan, a woman who disguised herself as a man and became Pope of the Catholic Church. In addition to being a compelling story in itself, the author did a great job of describing what life (and the Catholic Church) was like 1200 years ago with enough depth to put the reader back there, but without reading like a dry history book.

Two thumbs up.
