Historical fiction
Simon's Wife
by L.M. Affrossman
Description
BASED ON THE HORROR THAT WILL
INSPIRE THE BOOK OF REVELATION
In the dark days that follow the Roman devastation of Jerusalem,
nineteen-year-old Shelamzion finds herself captured and awaiting
execution.
Apparently, alone and forgotten, there seems little reason to go on
living, yet a strange friendship begins to grow between her and the
austere, Roman jailor, the historian, Fabius Grammaticus.
Meanwhile, time is running out, and history is being rewritten by a
traitor.
