A stunning reimagining of the final years in the life of John the Apostle, by the critically acclaimed and bestselling author of Time of the Child and This Is Happiness.
At 100 years old, frail and blind, John the Apostle lives in exile on the desolate island of Patmos with a small set of his disciples. Together the group has endured their banishment, though fissures are forming within their numbers and even the faithful are plagued with doubts. But when the Roman emperor lifts the banishment of Christians, John and his followers face an even deeper challenge: on their return to Ephesus, they discover a chaotic world of competing religious sects where Christianity is in danger of vanishing.
Ambitious and provocative, John is a powerful look at faith and how it lives and dies in the hearts of men.

An eloquent and moving statement of the power of love and the belief that it will triumph in the end.
The Guardian
A cracking good Bible-based novel for those of us who are theologically challenged. If Hollywood producer Cecil B. DeMille (The Ten Commandments) were alive today, he'd be angling for the film rights.
The Montreal Gazette
Gripping and believable . . . In an age where reason and science have shown themselves inadequate to fulfil the human dream of perfection, it is important that serious writers such as Williams face the perennial questions of faith and love.
The Irish Times
Powerful and moving . . . an absorbing and intelligent novel.
