As Salieri suggested of Mozart to Leopold in AMEDEUS, "too many notes." Fascinating, good intrigue although a tad juvenile. Spent forever looking up geographic references, historical data, etc. when cited in story. Philosophically challenging, but oh my, the "coincidences" and complexity in the history of man and religion. Neville's novels are finely woven. Sorry she only wrote three. ( )

Finally remembered the name of this book I read many years ago! I remember the plot sounded so intriguing on the cover but I was a bit let down by how the story unfolded. It's been too long to remember many details but I do know I liked the book, I just didn't love the book. ( )
