No matter how far away you run, you can’t hide from the past.

Naomi, a young Jewish woman from Jerusalem, runs away from home in order to avoid an arranged marriage forced on her, only to fall in love with Captain Gareth O’Reilly, an officer serving in the Land of Israel during the period of the British Mandate of Palestine.

Together, the young couple discovers the story of the Temple Scroll, an ancient document written in the sixth century, which generated much interest among academics as well as religious scholars who will go to great lengths to get their hands on it.

A series of mysterious murders related to the search for the coveted scroll, changes the scene and forces the two young lovers to leave everything behind and get as far away from Jerusalem as they possibly can to save their love. But even thousands of miles away, the past does not cease to pursue them…

From the Author

Presumably, current events are always an extension and continuation of past history. However, in a place like the Holy Land, history - both ancient and recent - is alive and present in current events more than it is in other places. The Vision of Eudocia is an attempt at providing an artistic expression to this insight.

History weaves a tale to converge today.

Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2023

Verified Purchase

Twisting several strands together the author binds us to the unlikely romance between a British officer and a beautiful Jewish girl. We search not only for long lost documents, but for hope to escape hopeless lives. Some make it. Some do not. Very colorful descriptions of the locals. Fascinating recreations of ancient lost documents and current revealing letters. The plot is not for the simple minded. There is a challenge which, when taken, brings reward.

Good mystery, but complicated to follow

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2019

I received a free copy of this book from Hidden Gems in exchange for an honest review.

The story and mystery were good, and the history of Israel was really interesting, but……

This was a very difficult read for me. Between the run-on sentences with a half dozen commas, to the overly large cast of characters, to the endless list of events, neighborhoods, streets, churches, temples, cities, countries, etc., I had a really hard time getting into in the story and keeping anything at all straight in my mind. I think it was a historical fiction/romance/mystery/religious book, or something like that. I’m not really sure. There was just way too much going on. There was too much description, too many characters, too many locales, just too much of everything. The reader shouldn’t have to make an extensive diagram and outline to read a book. I really wanted to like this book, but it was just way too complicated for me.

A lot of history, great research

Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2019

I am a ARC reviewer. I loved the historical facts in the book. I love to read about the history of Christianity beginnings and all the bits and pieces of parchments being found. I know this is a novel, The only draw back for me is its paragraphs seem to run together, hard on older eyes

History & Mystery, 2in1

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2019

I love crime novels. Especially historical mystery novels.
This book is not exactly a historical mystery novel, but it contains something very interesting to me: a story about the ancient manuscript (one of my favorite themes in books), its loss, its finding and serial of crimes around it.
Placed in a Middle East region, connected to Saint Paul's early life, the story about the manuscript itself is a story worth reading. But there is also a political part of the story, related to the period of the British Government over Palestine, which makes thing even more interesting. Also, there is a love story too which connects the manuscript and all about it and political situation, giving us information about the orthodox Jewish community and their customs as well as a Christian community and their view on the matter.
Very well written, very intense, lot of action, lot of interesting historical facts, plenty of plot twists definitely promise you and quality reading time.

Historical Mystery

Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2019

Fascinating book, it is full of twists and turns, very engaging. I feel the author did a wonderful job with researching the historical facts in this book. This book is about a young Jewish girl who runs away from home to avoid an arranged marriage. She falls in love with Captain Gareth O'Reilly, who was serving in Israel. It about the disappearance of the Temple Scroll and the search for it. It will keep you reading, I didn't want to put it down. I highly recommend this book.
I was given a free copy in return for my honest review.

A pleasant surpise

Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2019

I read this after getting a free copy. It's not typically a genre that I would normally enjoy, but The Vision of Eudocia was a pleasant surpise. The charachets are well written and thought out. And there were a few slight twists that I wasn't expecting but really helped the story build.

Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2019

After reading the cover discription I thought this would be a really interesting read. The idea behind the book, finsing a lost book written about biblical past, is an intersting one, however, I found it to be slowly paced with undefined and unremarkable characters. It was so slowly paced that I practically fell asleep anytime I picked it up to read. In fact, I did not end up finishing this book.

I am voluntarily leaving this reiview after recieving a free copy.
