Reviews
Publishers Weekly called the novel "beautifully observed ... culmination of an intimate family saga of love, sorrow and misunderstanding". In dealing with the issues of Jesus's early childhood, the reviewer said that "Rice undertakes a delicate balance: if it is possible to create a character that is simultaneously fully human and fully divine, as ancient Christian creeds assert, then Rice succeeds."[http://www.publishersweekly.com/article/CA6527646.html?q=christ+the+lord Publishers Weekly Review, 2/04/2008] David Kuo writing for NPR said: "The Road to Cana is a masterful book written by an extraordinary writer at the height of her powers."{{cite web |last1=Kuo |first1=David |author1-link=David Kuo (author) |title=Anne Rice's Jesus Transfixes in 'Road to Cana' |url=https://www.npr.org/2008/03/05/87898708/anne-rices-jesus-transfixes-in-road-to-cana |website=NPR |access-date=15 May 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220704101824/https://www.npr.org/2008/03/05/87898708/anne-rices-jesus-transfixes-in-road-to-cana |archive-date=4 July 2022 |date=5 March 2008 |url-status=live}}
