Title: And I thought "Jepthe's Daughter" was preposterous!
Review: I'm going to go out on a limb here and be a heretic by disagreeing with the other reviewers of this book. I thought it was an utter piece of trash. The book was entirely predictable. I knew from the third chapter that the Catholic Timothy would become a priest and he'd fall in love with the Jewish Deborah who would be tossed out of the family home by her one-dimensional father. In fact, I found all of the characters to be disagreeable, the plot tedious and the manipulation of religion to suit the storyline distasteful.I suppose if you are looking for a good laugh, this book might be interesting. I, however, didn't even find it funny. I found myself exclaiming out loud "Oh come on! That's ridiculous!" at multiple times as the book progressed. If you value your time, don't waste it on this book.
