Helen Martineau is a performer, arts writer and biographer who enjoys exploring the wisdom of the ages. Marriages of the Magdalene is a work of spiritual fiction informed by in-depth historical knowledge and imaginative reconstruction of initiatory experiences before the formation of the church. Her story of the intertwined journeys of Mary and John reveals the genuinely free human being¿as the undivided self, enfolded into a larger social and ecological whole. In our age of trauma, division and a hunger for meaning the book has a compelling message.
