Summary "The City of Delight: A Love Drama of the Siege and Fall of Jerusalem" by Elizabeth Miller is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set during the tumultuous time of the siege and fall of Jerusalem, the narrative follows the journey of Laodice, the daughter of the chief merchant Costobarus, as she navigates love, sacrifice, and the chaos surrounding her amidst impending catastrophe. The book explores themes of faith, destiny, and the human condition against the backdrop of historical events. The opening of the novel introduces us to Costobarus, a merchant in Ascalon who is hastily preparing for a journey to Jerusalem due to grave warnings of impending danger. As he orchestrates the logistics of departure, he grapples with familial concerns, particularly regarding his daughter Laodice. Costobarus believes that she is destined for greatness, fearing for her safety yet feeling compelled to fulfill what he sees as divine prophecy. The anxiety escalates when news of the plague strikes the household, propelling the family into a state of urgency to escape both the physical dangers posed by the Romans and the unseen threat of disease. Through vivid descriptions and strong character dynamics, the opening establishes a sense of impending doom, setting the stage for the trials that lie ahead for Laodice and her family.
