Description
Cairo Diary is a riveting historical narrative filled with ancient texts, romance and political intrigue. Best-selling author, Dr. Linda Lambert, recounts the journeys of two women separated by two millennia who are each seeking personal freedom: the Virgin Mary, living with her family in Old Cairo; and Dr. Justine Jenner, a modern-day anthropologist, whose mother is Egyptian and whose father is American. Mary is a reflective, insightful woman who imparts her wisdom to her eight-year old son, Jesus, and chronicles the historic challenges Jews faced in a Roman-Egyptian world. Two thousand years later, Justine arrives in Cairo to take up the work of UNICEF Community Schools for Girls. During a violent earthquake, she becomes trapped in the crypt under St. Sergius Church in Old Cairo, originally the cave that served as the Egyptian home to the Holy Family. When the shaking stops, an ancient book lies at her feet. With the help of a team of Egyptian and French investigators, Justine explores the profound secrets of the codex, which turns out to be the personal diary of the Virgin Mary. What is recorded in this diary threatens the foundation of religious beliefs, beliefs that are revealed to be a finely textured mythology.
