Format:Paperback
I really loved this book, I thought it was magical, different and a page turner. Personally I think Stella Duffy is one of the most underated writers out there. I can't wait to read her latest novel.

Format:Paperback
The idea of the new Messiah being born from a lap dancer was fascinating. I enjoyed the book and the questions it had me asking. I like the way Duffy refered to the "First Mother". The one thing I thought would have been better was the intimate scenes with Gabriel. I would have thought that the sex would have been more... illuminating?

Immaculate Conceite, c'est l'histoire de Sophia, danseuse dans un club, qui approche la trentaine et vit en collocation avec son ex devenu meilleur ami. Elle se réveille une nuit et découvre un homme assis au pied de son lit. Cet homme, c'est l'Ange Gabriel venu lui announcer qu'elle est celle qui mettra au monde le nouveau messie. Mais Sofia n'est pas très à l'aise dans son nouveau rôle de Vierge Marie (son goût prononcé pour l'alcool, la drogue et les parties de jambes en l'air n'arrangent rien à l'affaire). C'est un roman très très drôle et l'humour de Stella Duffy est d'autant plus pertinent qu'il est sur des sujets qui ne portent pas à rire : acception de soi, des autres, du sort.

Completey original and not too far fetched!
This is a brilliant book although it was lacking something. The idea of a lap dancing virgin Mary may seem unbelievable but Stella Duffy makes it seem very possible. Read more

Entertaining, observational and addictive
I'm not sure what I was expecting, having read the outstanding 'Singling Out The Couples' and the more 'down to earth' Saz Martin series. Read more
