Eleanor Herman, the talented author of the New York Times bestselling Sex with Kings and Sex with the Queen goes behind the sacred doors of the Catholic Church in Mistress of the Vatican, a scintillating biography of a powerful yet little-known woman whose remarkable story is ripe with secrets, sex, passion, and ambition.

Mistress of the Vatican: The True Story of Olimpia Maidalchini: The Secret Female Pope | Eleanor Herman

Impulse buy from HPB today because I learned about the only female Pope while at the Vatican last summer!

GingerAntics Only female pope? As a kid that grew up Catholic and even went to Catholic schoolā€¦ WHAT?! 1y

Texreader @GingerAntics Her portrait is in St Peter‘s Basilica! I‘ll have to tell you more after I read the book. I barely recall our tour guide pointing her out and giving us the brief explanation. St Peter‘s is quite overwhelming 1y

GingerAntics @Texreader oh I would imagine. SO much art, architecture, and history to take in, in one place. I just got the ebook. I cannot wait to read it and discuss. (edited) 1y

Dilara Oh I've heard of her! *Jumps excitedly* I read Olimpia by CĆ©line Minard, which is basically 88 pages of her ranting and cursing (very inventively) when she is driven out of Rome. One of the angriest, and most powerful books I've ever read. I am a gentle soul and so found it rather unpleasant, but others might find it cathartic! (edited) 1y
