Product Information

"Engaging . . . Pope Joan has all the elements: love, sex, violence, duplicity, and long-buried secrets." --Los Angeles Times Book Review For a thousand years men have denied her existence--Pope Joan, the woman who disguised herself as a man and rose to rule Christianity for two years. Now this compelling novel animates the legend with a portrait of an unforgettable woman who struggles against  restrictions her soul cannot accept. When her older brother dies in a Viking attack, the brilliant young Joan assumes his identity and enters a Benedictine monastery where, as  Brother John Anglicus, she distinguishes herself as a scholar and healer. Eventually drawn to Rome, she soon becomes enmeshed in a dangerous mix of powerful passion and explosive politics that threatens her life even as it elevates her to the highest throne in the Western world. "Brings the savage ninth century vividly to life in all its alien richness. An enthralling, scholarly historical novel." --Rebecca Fraser, Author of The Brontës

Reviews
Excerpts from reviews of Donna Woolfolk Cross' Pope Joan "No one knows for sure if Pope Joan, or Pope John Anglicus as she called herself, really existed.--After finishing Donna Cross' novelization of Joan's life, one may want her to be a real person, only because it is so gratifying to read about those rare heroes whose strength of vision enables them to ignore the almost overpowering messages of their own historical periods." -- Los Angeles Times Book Review "A remarkable woman uses her considerable intellect--and more than a little luck--to rise from humble origins to become the only female Pope, in this breakneck adventure from newcomer Cross." -- Kirkus Reviews "--Cross' drama draws predictable conclusions about the way a woman might handle power, but given the certain punishment that awaits Joan should anyone discover her secret, this cross-dressing saga is also a page turner." -- Glamour "In her first novel, Donna Woolfolk Cross--illuminates the Dark Ages and its attendant milieu of barbarism, politics, bigotry, and religion. Pope Joan also is a story of passion and faith--and a reminder that something never change, only the stage and the players do." -- Morning Star Telegram "Cross succeeds admirably, grounding her fast-moving tale in a wealth of rich historical detail. If Joan wasn't pope, she should have been." -- Orlando Sentinel "A fascinating and moving account of a woman's determination to learn despite the opposition of family and society. Highly recommended." --Library Journal (starred review), Excerpts from reviews of Donna Woolfolk Cross' Pope Joan "No one knows for sure if Pope Joan, or Pope John Anglicus as she called herself, really existed.--After finishing Donna Cross' novelization of Joan's life, one may want her to be a real person, only because it is so gratifying to read about those rare heroes whose strength of vision enables them to ignore the almost overpowering messages of their own historical periods." --Los Angeles Times Book Review "A remarkable woman uses her considerable intellect--and more than a little luck--to rise from humble origins to become the only female Pope, in this breakneck adventure from newcomer Cross." --Kirkus Reviews "--Cross' drama draws predictable conclusions about the way a woman might handle power, but given the certain punishment that awaits Joan should anyone discover her secret, this cross-dressing saga is also a page turner." --Glamour "In her first novel, Donna Woolfolk Cross--illuminates the Dark Ages and its attendant milieu of barbarism, politics, bigotry, and religion.

    Pope Joan

    This was a fascinating look at life in about 850AD in Europe. Many of the countries we know today didn't exist and there was a lot of unrest everywhere with boarder disputes which was also interesting as background. The story is fascinating. I am a not religious at all but still found it fascinating whilst not being derrogative of the faith, except in context to the times. It makes one wonder why a woman can't be Pope again today! The author's notes at the end of the book about her research are equally fascinating, with strong indications that there could really have been a female Pope, with various new "traditions" implemented afterwards to ensure it didn't re-occur. We're doing this for a book group discussion and it should be fascinating!

    What a wonderful, powerful book.

    I enjoyed Pope Joan so much! The story was so captivating and it seemed like it could really have happened that a woman would have and could have been the pope. What a great idea and we will never know if it did happen or not! It was a true page turner of a book. I’m sending it to my friend to read.

    Pope Joan by Donna Cross

    This book is extremely well written and fascinating; I can't put it down! It's on of the best I've ever read. The only objection I have is that I almost need a dictionery beside me to look up words of that period that are unfamiliar to me. But I feel I am learning about another time in history and of another culture in which a woman had the strength to beat tremondous odds against her. Women of today will be relieved to know that we have it so good. "We've come a long way, baby."

    Worthwhile...makes you think outside the box

    I really enjoyed the book. I thought the concept was fascinating. An interesting idea, makes one wonder how many women throughout history have taken on the male persona. Reading the book lead me to watch the two part series on TV which followed the book very closely. How amazing it would be to have a woman pope at this time in history. Worthwhile. Well written.
