Claudia is a woman from a wealthy family, living in Rome. At the marrying age, she spies Pilate from afar, and asks her goddess Isis to cast a love spell on him. They marry, and go through what many couples today go through - loss of love, boredome, betrayal, but manage to keep their marriage together - fortunately for Claudia because Pilate could have her put to death. They travel throughout the Roman Empire, ending up in Judea at the time of Christ. As a Christian, the Roman point of view was an interesting perspective of Jesus' crucifixion. The disparity between the Roman way of life and the Jewish culture could have been develop more, but the picture was made very clear. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
