Avishag

Rating:
Summary: Pure fun
Review: ItÕs a wonderful escapist book. Just lie back and enjoy the sounds, smells, and feel of ancient Jerusalem. Growing up reading the bible, this book brought all the biblical characters of this period to life in vivid colors and made them human and real.
Avishag is a beautiful character, the exact opposite the stereotype of the biblical concubine. SheÕs smart, independent, resourceful and powerful. If I were a teenager she would be a role model.

In short - I loved it!

Summary: Great Reading !!!!
Review: The author writes from a knowledgable standpoint in the eyes of a handmaiden often forgotten until you re-read the Bible itself. While it is not as sensous as the Red Tent By Anita Diamant, the story sheds light on the period of instability when David's sons vied for position. Add this to your library of biblical fiction.
