This is what is said about the book on wiki.
As the book begins, Athena is dead. How she ended up that way creates the intrigue sustaining the book. The child, Sherine Khalil renames herself Athena. As a child, she shows a strong religious vocation and reports seeing angels and saints, which both impresses and worries her parents.
She grows into a woman in search of answers to many questions that arise within a person. She has a contented life but her mind is not at ease. So she sets out to find answers to the classical question of "Who am I?" through many experiences. In her quest, she opens her heart to intoxicating powers and becomes a controversial spiritual leader in London.
I hope you'll enjoy reading it and that we can discuss more after finishing the book. We were thinking of a monthly rotation and as we already have mid January I think it's apropriate to say that the next book will be presented March 1st.
Do you think that is okay?
