Now and then

Peter's daughter is a most enjoyable novel. Two stories run side by side. One, is about Susannah, the imaginary daughter of Simon Peter, as she is caught up in the events of Jesus's life and ministry. The other, Ben, a disillusioned, atheistic archaeologist who stumbles across a shard of pottery, which leads him right back to first-century Palestine and also helps him deal with issues in his own chaotic life.
