Customer Reviews

Procula - a stunning and thought provoking historical novel.

I bought this book on the recommendation of my brother. `Procula' is a real "page turner" I could not put it down. The author's historical research is clearly very rigorous and it results in beautifully crafted characters and plot. For me, the most enjoyable aspect of this book is how Marion Youngquist helps us to understand one of the most significant times in the history of western civilization.

Very well reaserched historically and a great story as well.

I enjoy reading Roman period fiction and this is well researched and a very good story behind a character that very little is known about. Being wife of Pontius Pilate she was involved in possibly the most politically significant event in the history of the world. I really felt as though I was there. It is a quite remarkable piece of work from a new author. I hope she writes more.

A fascinating historical novel of Rome and Judea

A very enjoyable historical novel. I began last night a little before 10, thinking that I would read the first few chapters before going to bed. Four hours and two glasses of wine later, led on by the interest the author aroused in Procula's life and society, I'd reached the end of a very satisfying reading experience. Although I'm not a believer, I've read widely in the literature of the origin and history of Christianity and I found the world and characters of this novel convincing. For those who are Christians, I've no doubt that there is an additional happy element of enjoyment, but I found Procula a good novel on my own terms. The only historical inaccuracy that I noticed was the fact that while characters on one occasion ate tomatoes, the tomato was, of course, a Mesoamerican plant that didn't make its way to Eurasia until the 16th century. A minor quibble, and it is, after all, hard to imagine a Rome without tomatoes!

"Procula"--intertwines historical facts with faithful, vivid imagery

Youngquist has brought forth a terrific, historical story with a twist of imagination that culminates in a great read. I "couldn't put it down". Not much is known of this fascinating wife of Pilate, but after reading this book, one must respect her proximity to the trial and crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The historical and biblical research throughout this book is evident, which makes for a very convincing story of a woman placed in an extremely difficult and challenging position. I believe that this book will become the most telling book about this rather obscure character of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. A MUST READ!!!
