Damascus by Christos Tsiolkas
4.0
4.5, rounded down because CT includes three pages of the ‘ramble without a full stop to show some kind of fervour’ literary trope that I HATE.
Other than that, this was excellent. It did a great job of exploring and depicting the truly transgressive nature of the early church, and also showing just how horrific being of the lower castes in the Roman era could be (serious violence warning, lots of rape and children dying).
