The Disciple is the first part of the story of Maryam, a girl from biblical times, singularly brave in a world of men that tries to crush her, and who communicates with people in our era through dreams and visions... of Hannah, a sassy Parisian archaeologist about to embark on a dig in Jerusalem, a woman whose soul is torn between her declared atheism and her fascination for antique Christian manuscripts, her cynicism and her heart overflowing with emotions, her desire to settle and her taste for adventure... of the mesmerizing and mysterious rabbi they will come to know and cherish... and of a struggle between lies and authenticity, appearances and depth, rationality and hope.
This captivating tale of women, faith and love stretches across Paris and Israel, the first-century and today's society, uniting the young and the old in a fight for a spiritual and passionate truth to emerge.
