About this product

Product Information

There are few historical heroines as fascinating and controversial as Pope Joan, a woman whose hunger for knowledge and independent nature led her to pass as a man and ultimately to attain the high seat in Rome. Pope Joan is a spellbinding tale of a woman who gave up everything, even her very name, for the sake of knowledge.

Reviews
Excerpts from reviews of Donna Woolfolk Cross' Pope Joan "No one knows for sure if Pope Joan, or Pope John Anglicus as she called herself, really existed.--After finishing Donna Cross' novelization of Joan's life, one may want her to be a real person, only because it is so gratifying to read about those rare heroes whose strength of vision enables them to ignore the almost overpowering messages of their own historical periods." -- Los Angeles Times Book Review "A remarkable woman uses her considerable intellect--and more than a little luck--to rise from humble origins to become the only female Pope, in this breakneck adventure from newcomer Cross." -- Kirkus Reviews "--Cross' drama draws predictable conclusions about the way a woman might handle power, but given the certain punishment that awaits Joan should anyone discover her secret, this cross-dressing saga is also a page turner." -- Glamour "In her first novel, Donna Woolfolk Cross--illuminates the Dark Ages and its attendant milieu of barbarism, politics, bigotry, and religion. Pope Joan also is a story of passion and faith--and a reminder that something never change, only the stage and the players do." -- Morning Star Telegram "Cross succeeds admirably, grounding her fast-moving tale in a wealth of rich historical detail. If Joan wasn't pope, she should have been." -- Orlando Sentinel "A fascinating and moving account of a woman's determination to learn despite the opposition of family and society. Highly recommended." --Library Journal (starred review)

    Pope Joan

    This book was impossible for me to set down. The vivid descriptions of characters and settings made me take the phone of the hook and stay up all night to read it! Whether or not you are a fan of historical fiction, you will feel the many emotions of Joan as she matures into an incredible young woman. The historical notes at the end of the book piqued my interest in the subject and helped me appreciate Donna Cross's yarn, which she spun around this accepted-as-true European legend.
