Another great historical novel from this talented author. If you are used to happy endings and want to try going just a bit deeper, you should check out this book and also the previous book Jars Of Clay. Broken Vessels is intense and satisfying. The author does a great job of pulling you into 3rd Century Carthage and Rome. The story is inspiring not only from a story telling point of view but also because it is based on the life of Perpetua, a real historical character that more people should read about. With shades of Romeo and Juliet, this tragic love story left me thinking about the characters even after I finished the book. Excellent! Would make an epic movie.
