About the book:

An inspiring re-imagining of the tale of Esther, a young Jewish woman thrust from a life of obscurity into a life of power, wealth, intrigue . . . and tender love.

 

See the story of Esther in an entirely new way-with all the political intrigue and tension you remember, but told as a passionate and tender love story between a young man and woman. Misunderstood by many, King Xerxes was a powerful but lonely man. Esther’s beauty caught the eye of the young king, but it was her spirit that captured his heart.

 

Imagine anew the story of Esther, one of our faith’s great heroines, destined to play a key role in the history of Christianity. More here.

About the author:

Joan Wolf was born in New York City but has lived most of her adult life with her husband in Connecticut, where she raised two children and countless numbers of assorted animals. Joan is the author of numerous historical novels including The Road to Avalon which Publishers Weekly lauded as “historical fiction at its finest.”

Jennifer’s Thoughts:

I TOTALLY loved this book! Esther has always been my favorite woman of the Bible! (Can’t you tell by the title of my blog? LOL)

I really enjoyed the way that they portrayed her in this book. It helps you to kind of see what it might have been like for her as she fell head over heels in love with the King. Her story is one that will always be in my mind as a true love story for all time!

I really think you will enjoy this book :)

I received a copy of this book for free from Litfuse in exchange for my review. All opinions expressed are my own.

I really enjoyed the book also. I love the ‘remakes’ of Biblical characters!

I know. I am getting ready to read one about Martha now. It should be really good.
