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), 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.

Synopsis
"Engaging . . . Pope Joan has all the elements: love, sex, violence, duplicity, and long-buried secrets." --Los Angeles Times Book Review For a thousand years men have denied her existence--Pope Joan, the woman who disguised herself as a man and rose to rule Christianity for two years. Now this compelling novel animates the legend with a portrait of an unforgettable woman who struggles against restrictions her soul cannot accept. When her older brother dies in a Viking attack, the brilliant young Joan assumes his identity and enters a Benedictine monastery where, as Brother John Anglicus, she distinguishes herself as a scholar and healer. Eventually drawn to Rome, she soon becomes enmeshed in a dangerous mix of powerful passion and explosive politics that threatens her life even as it elevates her to the highest throne in the Western world. "Brings the savage ninth century vividly to life in all its alien richness. An enthralling, scholarly historical novel." --Rebecca Fraser, Author of The Brontës
