Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Unlike most sequels that fail to live up to the first novel, Daughter of Abraham is as compelling and powerful as McMahon's first novel, Garments of Skin. While the first novel introduced us to the gutsy heroine, Maria O'Conner, Daughter of Abraham gives us her daughter, Teresa O'Connor, a young woman whose life is nothing but ordinary.
Continuing with the theme of the first novel, the genomic therapy (Chimera) has begun to spread. This therapy promises extra-ordinary long life, resistance to disease and even aging! However, the therapy has one very frightening consequence. When the person does eventually die, their soul is trapped inside their dead body, and they can no longer find release to heaven or to hell. While the story is clearly about the struggle between good and evil, at its heart it is a story about people. Though it is fast paced and thematically driven, its true charm lies in the beauty of the characters who are struggling to become their authentic selves and discover truth despite the evil which they must war with both spiritually and physically.
At the end of the novel...you only want more.
