5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling, modern day Romeo and Juliet, 6 April 2007

By	Snapdragon (London) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Pastor Luke Butler is a young dynamic preacher in charge of a modern Christian youth centre in Sydney, Australia. Across the road from the youth centre is a sexual health clinic, offering advice to young people about sex and unwanted pregnancy, which is run by Aggie Grey. The clinic is threatened by Christian fundamentalists, and this throws Luke and Aggie together.

The pair are immediately attracted to one another but have completely opposing views about teen pregnancy and pro-choice arguments. Luke feels that he should save Aggie's soul, but does she want to be saved?

Then thrown into the mix is a young girl called Honey. She has been systematically abused throughout her short life and then finds herself pregnant. The arrival of Honey highlights all that is different about Luke and Aggie, how they help Honey deal with her pregnancy will have huge implications for their blossoming relationship.

This really is compulsive reading. Two lonely and damaged people coming together, despite all that is different about them, and whether such a love can survive. The characterisation is great, you have a clear sense of who these people are and why they behave the way that they do.

Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully Written , 21 Nov 2008

By	Miss Jessica (West Midlands,England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Gospel According to Luke (Paperback)

Emily Maguire's first novel Taming the Beast is one of my all time favourite books. So when I picked up The Gospel According to Luke I was expecting a real treat and I wasn't disappointed! Although a very different story to Taming the Beast, I was yet again gripped by Maguire's flawed characters and the beautiful way their story is written. This is the tale of a modern day Romeo and Juliet, which deals with the issues of abortion and religion both respectfully and sensitively. Having now read both of Emily Maguire's published novels I am eagerly awaiting more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another beautifully written passionate tale with a twist, 1 Jun 2008

By	C. Jean-Baptiste (London, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Gospel According to Luke (Paperback)

Maguire truly knows how to do passionate, inconvenient, across the barricades love stories. Very different from her earlier work Taming the Beast which is also brilliant. This tells the story of Aggie a sexual health worker and Luke a Christian Pastor who are different in every way but fall in love despite themselves against reason, wanting or rationality. This is also the story of Honey a young girl who gets pregnant and has both Aggie and Luke doing their best for her but coming from very different perspectives.

Uncomfortable, sexy and challenging and enlightening.
