Woman of God

By: James Patterson

Narrated by: Therese Plummer

St. Peter's Square, Rome.

White smoke signals that a new Pope has been chosen.

The world is watching as massive crowds gather in Rome, waiting for news of a new Pope. It's a turning point that could change the Catholic Church for ever, as one of the rumoured candidates, Brigid Fitzgerald, would be the first female Pope in history.

But Brigid has made a legion of powerful enemies and is a target for all those who fear that the Church has lost its way – dangerous adversaries who won’t accept challenges to tradition.

Locked in a deadly, high-stakes battle with forces determined to undermine her, Brigid must confront her enemies before she loses everything... including her life.

predictable but entertaining

What did you love best about Woman of God?

The story was compelling, probably because I had been to these places and the incidents were not exaggerated. Some of the romantic moments were a little "so so", I mean a woman so much of the world getting gooey about a kiss?

What was one of the most memorable moments of Woman of God?

The reunion back in Africa... I had tears in my eyes listening to the meeting unfolding. Again, bringing back too many buried memories of my earlier years.

How could the performance have been better?

The performance was a little frantic at times. Understand trying to dramatise, but the story speaks for itself and perhaps if she had read the book before she may have had a better idea of the big picture and put less panic in some places.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

don't want to spoil it for future listeners. Lots of emotion running through the story

Any additional comments?

Has left the door open for sequels. Many interesting characters with more stories to expand on.
Thanks for a good "read".
