AUTHOR
SUMMARY
Lucina is a Greek girl who grows up in an utopian enclave, Elysium. As she matures, her natural psychic talents unfold, putting her at odds with the skeptical, scientific philosophy of Elysium. So she and two friends sail to Rome. There she becomes a priestess in a Delphic temple, dispensing wisdom and healing to any who come. But her skeptical upbringing subtly undermines her dedication, and she succumbs to the allure of a love affair with a Roman senator.This is a marvelous story, delving deep into the consciousness of each character -- and revealing the power of self-deception, both in scientific inquiry and in self-knowledge. The ending is one of the most surprising in modern literature.Grant, Joan M. is the author of 'Return to Elysium' with ISBN 9780898041453 and ISBN 0898041457.
