Readers will be captivated by the gripping narrative and the moral dilemmas faced by the protagonist as she stands firm in her beliefs. S. Baring-Gould, a respected English scholar and writer, was known for his interest in history and folklore. His deep understanding of ancient cultures and his research into the lives of saints and martyrs undoubtedly influenced his decision to write 'Perpetua'. Baring-Gould's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to bring historical figures to life make this novel a valuable contribution to the genre. I highly recommend 'Perpetua.

This book offers a unique perspective on the early Christian church and the challenges faced by believers in a hostile society.
