With her reputation in tatters and her freedom at stake, Ana puts her fledgling faith to the test, trusting God to save her before the Pride of Babylon claims another mark.
Set against the backdrop of 1917 Mesopotamia, The Pride of Babylon is a sweeping tale of romance, faith, and self-discovery that will leave you breathless. Unearth the secrets of the past and the promise of the future in this unforgettable journey from dust to destiny.
Set just after World War One, this book immediately captured my attention with it’s Indiana Jones-type feel but from a feminine, Christian perspective.
Carolyn Jacobs is a new-to-me author with a flair for the descriptive. Her whimsical FMC, Ana, easily disappeared into her own world, including several stories within the story as Ana shared her perspective with others. This did set a slower pace for the book, but it created lots of opportunities to really get into the FMC’s head.
While the pace was a bit slower than I prefer, the strong introduction to the characters chaptered my attention and kept me wondering what would happen next. Overall, an entertaining read.
3.5 out of 5 stars.
