Book launch: GIRL MARY by Petru Popescu
Join us on September 10 at the first literary event of the fall within the RCINY/ Carturesti book exhibition, for the launch of "GIRL MARY: A Novel", the new book by Petru Popescu, upcoming this September at Simon & Schuster. The author will be in dialogue with Corina Suteu, RCINY director.
Petru Popescu was one of Romania's leading young authors when he immigrated to the United States in 1974. He is the New York Times bestselling author of the novels "Amazon Beaming" and "Almost Adam", and the critically acclaimed memoirs "The Return" and "The Oasis".
As the editor's press release notes, "in GIRL MARY, Petru Popescu offers a radical, yet fully realized portrait of Mary of Nazareth’s girlhood, her love for Joseph, her relationship with God and the events that led to God’s intervention in her pregnancy."
Blake Bailey praises GIRL MARY for its "deep research and masterful story-telling" calling it "triumphant" and "unforgettable", and Elie Wiesel proclaims that "Popescu's literary imagination will stimulate reader's interest in religious and historical events."
"…[Popescu] brings this turbulent age to vibrant life with sympathetic characters, both minor and major." - Kirkus Reviews
