The testament of Mary / Colm Toibin

by Colm Toibin

Living in exile in Ephesus years after the crucifixion, Mary reflects on her son's death and her own survival. She remains distant from the Gospel writers who care for her while grappling with grief and the memories of the brutal events she witnessed.
