The Sisters of Corinth By Angela Hunt from Bethany House Publishing. When the new provincial governor arrives in Corinth, the esteemed Chief Magistrate Narkis Ligus, father to Mariana and Prima, is delighted. He sees a golden opportunity to propel himself to greater power and fortune by uniting his and the governor's households through the marriage of one of his beautiful unwed daughters to the governor's firstborn son.
Yet complications quickly arise in Narkis's own family. Mariana, his stepdaughter, holds steadfast faith in Yeshua, rendering her hesitant to marry a man devoted to the Roman gods, despite Narkis's urging. On the other hand, Prima, his daughter by birth, yearns for a life of wealth and status and is willing to go to great lengths to secure a marriage that fulfills her desires-even if it means betraying Mariana to do so.
My Opinion: this book consists of two basic conflicts. As
I reading alternating chapters narrated by the sisters Mariana and Prima, who
are pitted against sister for the love of the son of the new governor of
Corinth. The other conflict pits all the gods of Rome against the God Who
created the Universe. “How could the gods disappoint me? Mariana’s God could
not be stronger than Aphrodite, Jupiter, and Asclepius. She had one God; I had
dozens. Impossible that one foreign God could have prevailed against the gods
of Rome.”
