Daughter of Rome

Daughter of Rome by Tessa Afshar
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Tessa Afshar has written numerous works of Bible-based fiction so when I saw Daughter of Rome, I knew I wanted to read it. What I didn't realize until I started reading is that it is the story of Priscilla and Aquila. While our information on Priscilla and Aquila from the Bible is limited, Afshar does a marvelous job of doing extensive Biblical and extra-biblical research to have the fictional story be as historically accurate and real as possible and includes numerous other characters from the Bible and history that they did or might have crossed paths with. Beyond historical accuracy, one of the aspects I really enjoyed about Daughter of Rome is that Afshar's characters model Christian character and show the changes that occur in their lives due to knowing Christ.

Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys well-written, historically accurate Christian fiction!

I received an ARC of this book from Tyndale House via NetGalley.
