Icon: A Novel
){kind=icon}
Product Description
By Georgia Briggs
Forget your old name. Forget your parents. These are the things Euphrosyne’s grandparents and counselor tell her. But if Orthodox Christianity is a lie, why did the icon so dramatically save her life? And what can she do to get the icon back?
In a post-Christian America, where going to church, praying, or owning holy things means death, a twelve-year-old girl searches for the truth. Finding it may cost her everything.
Distinctives:
• One-of-a-kind Orthodox novel in the popular dystopian genre
• Strong, relatable heroine faces some of the same issues as contemporary teens
• Powerful exploration of religious persecution, seen from the inside
• Recommended for ages 13 and up

Flawed

This review is hard to write without giving anything away. Too many loose ends, and a lot of wasted potential. As an editor, I would have heavily marked up the final third of the book.

Ih this dystopia, the brave heroine of this story reminds me of saint agnes and remembers the reader to be brave in his or her way guided by the saints. Also a good book for roman-catholic ya and grown-ups
