Was there REALLY a woman pope? Durrell shows us how to suspend our disbelief and makes us smile in the bargain.
Hmm what can I say. Not much unfortunately. Read this in 2 hours. It should be classed as fantasy fiction - not one of the better fictional accounts though it was the first.

A more indepth review will be shortly forthcoming.
