From the award-winning writer and director of The Women’s Jail Project and author of Dancing the Labyrinth, comes an evocative tale that unashamedly merges renowned historical characters and events in a spellbinding story of destiny.
“I should have assumed with parents known to the world as Mary Magdalene and Jesus Christ, I would be different.”
And Sara is different, for she time travels forward into other people’s bodies.
When Sara, whose Aramaic name means ‘bringer of happiness,’ wakes up in a Sarah-Marie, a young Cathar girl from Montségur, she believes it is her destiny to rescue her from the 13th Century siege. By saving Sarah-Marie, Sara hopes to safe-guard her mother’s gospel. In this story of death, destiny and soul’s purpose, we join Sara as she journeys from Jerusalem to Egypt to Crete and finally to France heeding her call.
Narrated by the daughter of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, the Bringer of Happiness is a journey into ideologies, beliefs and heresies, culminating in the 13th Century massacre of the Cathars at Montségur. As our histories become unstuck, the patterns of power through religion are shifting, making way for new narratives. This book is part of this process. Part history, part myth, part imagination: the Bringer of Happiness is a compelling (almost) true tale.
