The Scribe's Family: A Golden Age Saga Spanning Five Millennia Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I admit that when I first heard about this book, and the way it's played out, I was skeptical. I figured it would be too complex and too boring to bother with. But, being the fan of Historical Fiction that I am, I read it anyway. I'm currently reading it a 3rd time. I LOVE IT!

An historical novel of unprecedented scope, a family saga encompassing ten Golden Ages, spanning 5000 years, from ancient Mesopotamia to Elizabethan England.During the intervening Golden Ages, The Scribe's Family struggles with life's often quirky challenges in Egypt, Crete, Jerusalem, Athens, Rome, Constantinople, Paris and Florence.Imagine a play in which the stage setting changes between acts, from one Golden Age to another, while the characters remain the same, the story a continuous drama. Such is The Scribe's Family, a saga that dramatizes the unchanging character of human nature.The passions that engulfed ordinary people five thousand years ago still do.
