Sounds interesting; I just downloaded a sample. The
Washington Post reporter who reviewed the book said the story follows along lines laid down by The Jesus Seminar. Of course, The Jesus Seminar never suggested that Mary gave birth to twins, and most of those scholars dismiss the birth stories altogether as later add-ons to the true biography. Still, I'll give it a look-see.
I'm 82% through
The Sheepfarmer's Daughter. It's starting to pick up slightly.
