Hey, your'e right and I actually found a copy of this book on the
bookshelf at my local independant bookseller here in Mill Valley, CA.
It's not a long book (232 pages) but it was one of those books that I
finished in one reading because I really got into the characters! The
central figure is a woman named Justine who ends up becoming immortal
by being annointed with a holy oil. The story that ensues from there
is pretty rich with Jewish and Christian mysticism. She even goes so
far as to bring Lucifer into the plot (although in a very different
way than one might expect!). I won't give a lot of the plot away but
let me say that I agree that she has been HEAVILY influenced by Anne
Rice. It's great to have a good read until my favorite author... Anne
Rice... comes out with a new book. In the meantime, I hope that Ms.
Longo writes more!
