Here is Mary, on the last evening of her life, before her Son gets
back to take her with Him, as He promised. In this last night,
lived in John’s house, who had welcomed her, the Mother
of Jesus tells her life to those who have been close to her in
the last few years. Gradually the story is enriched with figures
that come to pay Mary their last tribute. Each page is a scene
from that drama that made up the life of the most important
woman in human history, the Mother of God. Taking inspiration from the canonical Gospels and the apocryphal Gospels,
the author creates an intense novel, capable of touching the
hearts of the readers.
