Tessa Afshar | REVIEWS+,  Nov 15, 2010

Afshar, an Iranian-born Christian convert, has done her research in this retelling of the Old Testament story. In addition to crafting a well-written tale, she pays particular attention to historical details and setting. This superb debut should appeal to readers who enjoyed Davis Bunn and Janette Oke's The Centurion's Wife or Anita Diamant's The Red Tent.
