Here's a stumper. A patron remembers a book on our new fiction shelves in the past six months with "Pagan" or "Paganism" in the title. She said it was definitely fiction and was set in modern times. She said that it was definitely about paganism. Just to make sure, we asked if she was thinking about "Pagan Babies" by Leonard Elmore (even thought the subject matter definitely doesn't match, we just had to rule that one out!). She said that wasn't the book. Then she thought maybe the title had "heathen" or "heathens" in the title! We checked our catalog under all kinds of combinations, Novelist, amazon.com, Fiction Catalog and other assorted sources with no luck. Do any of you know what she's talking about??


Thanks,

Beth McGuire

Could this be "The Book of the Heathen" by Robert Edric? It came out in
August 2000. According to amazon.uk it is set in the Belgian Congo around
the turn of the century.

Beth,

This is a stretch, but the only thing that came to mind was "Stonehenge,
2000 B.C.: a novel by Bernard Cornwell. It came out in the last year and
was about the building of Stonehenge and the religious beliefs of the people
building it. All of course fiction.

Hope this helps,

Sherri
