" Pope Joan has all the elements one wants in a historical drama–love, sex, violence, duplicity, and long-buried secrets. Cross has written an engaging book." –Los Angeles Times Book Review
For a thousand years her existence has been denied. She is the legend that will not die–Pope Joan, the ninth-century woman who disguised herself as a man and rose to become the only female ever to sit on the throne of St. Peter. Now in this riveting novel, Donna Woolfolk Cross paints a sweeping portrait of an unforgettable heroine who struggles against restrictions her soul cannot accept.
Brilliant and talented, young Joan rebels against medieval social strictures forbidding women to learn. When her brother is brutally killed during a Viking attack, Joan takes up his cloak–and his identity–and enters the monastery of Fulda. As Brother John Anglicus, Joan distinguishes herself as a great scholar and healer. Eventually, she is drawn to Rome, where she becomes enmeshed in a dangerous web of love, passion, and politics. Triumphing over appalling odds, she finally attains the highest office in Christendom–wielding a power greater than any woman before or since. But such power always comes at a price . . .
In this international bestseller, Cross brings the Dark Ages to life in all their brutal splendor and shares the dramatic story of a woman whose strength of vision led her to defy the social restrictions of her day.

評分我不知道什麼去評這本書，但是我是覺得這本書教給我的就是一種不放棄的精神，書中的女主在認字，學習還有後來她麵對一切的睏難，她都勇敢去闖，她的不放棄在我眼裏就是很不錯的，想現代還有幾個會想她這樣去生活，而且那時候還是很落後的文明，而且非常野蠻的時期，而且還是男...
評分前半段寫的很抓人，那個時代的黑暗愚昧感，從字裏行間不動聲色地泄露齣來，哪怕他沒發生什麼跌宕起伏的劇情，光看那些文字也就夠瞭。 到修道院部分還行，但從劇情轉入羅馬開始，一下就拉開瞭距離感，原本生動的描述褪色瞭，雖然劇情更加戲劇性，涉及的曆史事件更多更有名，瓊安...
