Sinossi
Fatima, Portogallo, 1917. Tre piccoli pastori raccontano di aver visto una donna vestita di bianco scendere da una nube. «Non abbiate timore, non voglio farvi del male», li ha rassicurati, ma ha consegna loro anche un messaggio inquietante: due vergini daranno contemporaneamente alla luce due bambini; il primo sarà il Salvatore, l’altro…
Vaticano, giorni nostri. Mentre l’intero pianeta è devastato da epidemie, carestie e siccità, a Roma giunge una notizia singolare: due adolescenti che stanno per partorire si dichiarano entrambe vergini. La prima a Boston, l’altra in un villaggio irlandese. Memore della Profezia di Fatima il papa affida a padre Nicholas Rosetti, la massima autorità in materia di miracoli, il compito di indagare sulla misteriosa vicenda, e, in punto di morte, gli rivela un inconfessabile segreto.
Per partecipare alle indagini, l’arcidiocesi di Boston decide di affiancare al religioso Anne Fitzgerald, una ex suora che lavora come investigatrice privata. In uno scenario apocalittico, gravato dallo scatenarsi di paure incontrollate, i due si lanciano in una corsa contro il tempo per scoprire la verità, ma Anne e padre Rosetti ancora non sanno quali demoni si troveranno ad affrontare…

The Catholic church tries to figure out which pregnant virgin teen is the Mother of Christ and which is the Mother of Satan. Needless to say, they get it wrong, although what with all the snakes attacking Mexico and demonic priests riding motorcycles you can understand how they got baffled. Written
I finished reading this a few days ago but I completely forgot to update it on here... see what prac is doing to me 😂 Alright so I really did enjoy this book. It had some plot twists that I was not expecting to see. One things I didn’t like was the switching character point of views and there was no Leggi tutto
This is the first non-Alex Cross book of Patterson's that I've read. While the story is good, the writing is poor -- not up to the standard I'd expect from Patterson. I suspect this is an early novel that Patterson dusted off and marketed after he got hot. The secret of the miraculous revelations
This book.. is so much more than a book to me. This book is a beautiful, yet bittersweet memory for me. I remember reading this book when I was about 12-years-old. I had spent the weekend with Nana (my mom's mother). She had taken me to the library that Friday to get me a stack of Sweet Valley High
This book is just terrible. A story about two virgins about to give birth, we find out one will be to the Saviour and one will be to the Beast. But which one? Well, lets see, one of the girls is a rich, white, blonde, debutante, from America and getting loads of press. The other a poor girl in a poo Leggi tutto
