What is Christ the Lord : out of Egypt : a novel about?

<p>Having completed the two cycles of legend to which she has devoted her career so far, Anne Rice gives us now her most thoughtful and powerful book, a novel about the childhood of <i>Christ the Lord</i> based on the Gospels and on the most respected New Testament scholarship.<br><br> The book s power derives from the passion its author brings to the writing, and the way in which she summons up the voice, the presence, the words of the young Jesus who tells the story.</p><h3>The New York Times - Janet Maslin</h3><p><i>Christ the Lord</i> shares predilections with her other books. Even in biblical times and in the Holy Land, Ms. Rice retains her obsessions with ritual and purification, with lavish detail and gaudy décor. But she writes this book in a simpler, leaner style, giving it the slow but inexorable rhythm of an incantation. The restraint and prayerful beauty of <i>Christ the Lord</i> is apt to surprise her usual readers and attract new ones.</p>
